The Sixth Sunday of Easter

Proclaiming the Word of God, receiving the Holy Spirit, sacrificing for what is good: the Scriptures for today and this week present some of the great themes of Christian life


If someone were to ask you: "what is the Holy Spirit?", what would be an answer you could give that would open the Spirit to them?

Loving God:

help us to follow the teaching of Your Son and to find joy in walking in His ways.

.

Loving God:

inspire us to share our faith with gentleness and respect, and teach us to suffer with patience for doing good.

Flowers, anyone?

Every year for Mother’s Day, people donate roses in honor of their mothers at the Basilica Shrine of Mary Queen of the Universe in Orlando, Florida. They had some 10,000 on display the last two weeks. The celebrant pictured above is the shrine’s rector, Fr. Paul Henry.

If you find yourself in the area on vacation, make it a point to stop by the shrine. The church is beautiful, the liturgies are impeccable, and the music is often thrilling. Many of the singers work nearby at Disney, and their voices are astounding. (And, like all Orlando attractions, it has a great gift shop!)

Good Shepherd Sunday

The Easter Season continues, and so does the Church's meditation on the Risen Christ. On this "Good Shepherd Sunday" we hear the voice of the True Shepherd, Jesus Christ.

Suddnely I heard the words of Christ and understood them, and life and death ceased to seem to be evil, and instead of despair I experienced happiness and the joy of life undisturbed by death.
