"MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU": 6th Sunday of Easter C

Send us Fan MailFriends, isn't it true to state that Christianity is a religion of friendship? - Friendship between God and his people, us His children. This friendship was not initiated by us but rather by God when he first created us out of love.  The readings for this sixth Sunday of Easter speak to us about this friendship -  In the first reading, the early Christians debate about extending this friendship  to others.In the second reading we see how God because of His desire to befriend us makes Himself available to every human heart. Jesus, in the Gospel, promises the Holy Spirit to instruct us in everything and remind us, His friends of all He has revealed. Brothers and sisters, if we listen keenly to Jesus and His word in Holy scripture,we can hear this coming through: Repent, enjoy the salvation I have made available to you through my redeeming death and resurrection; Shoulder my yoke and learn from me. Be imitators of my love and my mission to the world.Friends we pray today for the grace to listen and be true ambassadors for Christ with the mission to reveal God’s love and care to our brothers and sisters. Amen.Support the show
