6th SUNDAY OF EASTER

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Each Sunday in Easter time, we celebrate the gifts we have received in Baptism and Confirmation. We rejoice that the Spirit is our Advocate, who continues to support us in the difficulties of life.

Today’s gospel directs our thoughts on the relationship with Jesus by the Holy Spirit who is our Paraclete – the Advocate or the Comforter. He is with us always especially when we are in the difficult time of our life. What we need is to follow the words of Jesus in our private lives and after this we will be in the communion with God the Father and with his son Jesus Christ.

The 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.

One Main Point

Jesus promises to the believers of his continuing presence through a Counselor, the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit (v.26 later). The world will not know this gift and will oppose to its existence. The reward is for those who love Jesus and keep his commandments of loving one another.

Reflections

  1. Have I ever felt the presence of Jesus living in me? How do I recognize and react to his presence?
  2. What are the forces that still keep me lying instead of always telling the truth?
  3. If I am an orphan, how do I feel? What do I need the most? What should I do?
