Today we celebrate the 6^th Sunday of Easter. The Easter Season is very important in the liturgical year. It concerns the most important matter of our faith which is the Resurrection of Jesus and after this our own resurrection on the last day.

Today’s gospel directs our thoughts on the relationship with invisible Jesus. That to be in the contact with him we don’t need physical touch of Jesus we need to follow his words in our private lives and after this we will be in the communion with God the Father and with Jesus. The base of this relation will be done by Holy Spirit who is the advocate of the Church in the pilgrimage to the Heavenly Kingdom and our own consoler.

From the other side we began the month May – dedicated to Our Blessed Lady – a favorite of popular devotion. In accord with a long-standing tradition of devotion; parishes and families continue to make the month of May a ‘Marian’ month, celebrating it with many devout liturgical, catechetical and pastoral initiatives!”

The Holy Eucharist is the time when we hear the words of Jesus and we start follow it. It is also the situation when we love each other and we realize by this fact our love to God alone and the example of the BVM helps us in that matter.
