THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD – 6th SUNDAY OF EASTER; Mother’s Day

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

We are again reminded today that the heart of Christianity is love: love of God, love of one another. Jesus tells us that we have to love one another as he has loved us. This is a very demanding love, for it commits us to love not only those we like and who love us or like-minded fellow Christians, but also the difficult ones, the “unlovable,” people far from perfect, outsiders… That is not so easy, and this is probably why he calls it a commandment.

Today is also Mother’s day. We thank God for the gift of motherhood, both biological motherhood and spiritual motherhood. We ask God for his special blessing on our earthly mothers living or dead.

One important fact that cannot be dismissed is that mothers are generally very protective of their children. The Church is described as “Holy Mother Church”. God entrusted to the Church the responsibility to guide His sons and daughters aright with the word of God and to follow the path established by God for the salvation of souls.

Let us ask our Lord in this Eucharist that we may grow in this openness of genuine love.

Reflections

  1. As we meditate on the image of the vine, or on the word “abide”, how is this reflecting your own community? Do you belong to any believing community? Who are the members? What does this community mean to you?
  2. Love is not a word but an action. What are some of the problems in your community? Misunderstanding? How does a loving action bring the community together?
  3. Reflect on an experience of being loved by someone, recall the happiness, how is this experience a manifestation of Jesus’ love?
