The 5th Sunday of Easter -- April 28 2024

Today as we continue in the Easter Season, we hear about a dramatic change of heart, namely, that of Saul, who becomes the great Apostle Paul. Have you ever been on the wrong path? Barreling down the road only to realize you were heading in the wrong direction? I sure have. And typically when I do, I turn around as soon as I can, and then start heading the correct way, as fast as I possibly can. Our spiritual lives are often like that. Have you ever told someone that Christ was a big part of your life? Well, if so, guess what? You're going the wrong direction. Christ is NOT a PART of our life, He IS our life, our whole life. That's why we are the branches on His vine.  Note that Scripture readings are from the Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America, second typical edition, Copyright Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., used with permission.
