Dear Parishioners,
Greetings on this sixth Sunday of Easter. Our week will also include the Feast of the Ascension of Our Blessed Lord into Heaven. The theme of our readings today is that God loves us and wants us to love as God loves. Last week, we had the Allegory of the Vine. The Lord (the Vine) will give us (the branches) abundant love to help us to meet the demands of life. When people say there is not enough love to go around this is a problem of distribution not any limit on the amount being made available to us by God. God’s love is abundant and is the solution for all humanity’s issues. Our Lord relies on the good in people to be responsible for the distribution of His abundant concern for all. We simply need to access this love more effectively and be generous in sharing it. I like the feast of the Ascension of Our Lord because it reminds us that we have a wonderful home in Heaven. The demands present shouldn’t be so daunting when we know in faith that have something wonderful ahead of us. At the end of His Public Ministry climaxing in the tremendous event of His resurrection, Jesus promised to return in order take us with Him to be with Him in eternal joy. This is our destiny, well worth sharing. A happy feast to you all.
