6th SUNDAY OF EASTER; Memorial Day

2 Comments / From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the 6th Sunday of Easter and on Monday the Memorial Day. The Easter Season 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 counsellor.

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.

“The Father will send the Holy Spirit in my name.”

Reflections

  1. Jesus said, “if anyone loves me, he will keep my word”. I pray that my love of Jesus will push me to meditate on his words, letting his words take root in my soul, and putting his words into practice in my life.
  2. Peace can mean no war, no conflicts. Or peace can be despite wars and conflicts. Which type of peace do I want ? How do I reach this state?

    Hello Mikel
    Thanks for your question.
    The meaning of Democratic in the line above is that our Church is govern by democratic rules in material things, concern the property, meetings etc. Especially when we have the Synods of the Church or during the meetings of the Parish Committee we utilize the Robert’s Rule, we accept or decline some matters by voting, even we vote to elect bishops (by clergy and lay people also). In spiritual matters we are govern and guided by our Bishops and the Synods of the Church. I hope you satisfied with that answer, if not let’s talk. Fr. Andrzej or Andrew
