Sixth Sunday of Easter CMay 26, 2019

"Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him.”

My Dear Friends in Christ, this Sunday’s Gospel is one of the most popularGospel for funerals, I really like the part where Jesus says to his disciples, “do notlet your heart be troubled or afraid.” I think this an incredible promise especiallyfor the people who had lost a beloved one. I hope that every time that they hear thisGospel’s words bring them some measure of peace. When I reflect on Jesus’ words for this Sunday, I realize that perhaps in order tofind this peace that He is offering us today begin in our listening of his voice. Lastweek, I talked a little bit about how important it is to recognize the voice of ourShepherd and today I would like to continue talking about this. It is our job to receive his words, to cultivate them, and to share his words withother people. I hope that you start to understand this essential truth that Jesus istelling us today, “whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will lovehim.” I think it is a great promise for us who are the people that are looking to dothe will of God in our lives. I have seen God at work in our parishes through his words. We are celebratedGod’s gifts week after week, we are also able to see God at work in one another.Every time that we meet to study God’s words and share with our brothers andsisters, God is helping us to be a more welcoming spiritual home for many peoplethat come to worship with us. Every time that we open ourselves to take time tostudy and prepare our lessons in our bible group, we are providing for our growthin our spiritual life. Every time that we understand more deeply our faith and ourliturgy, we are ready to go and proclaim this wonderful Good News to the peoplethat we enter in contact every day. I am pleased because I see that this process starts inside of us, it is something thatcomes first from outside by the inspiration of God when you pay attention to all ofGod’s good gifts, by staying alert to what God is already doing for you and for theworld. This week in another excellent opportunity to keep the word of God in our lives,how do you find yourself thinking about the word of God that you heard thisweekend? These words open your eyes to see how God is working among us andthrough us? The Word who became flesh and lived among us continues to wait forour answers to prepared our eternal dwelling with God.

Fr. Rubén Darío Muñoz Jiménez

A Memorial Day Poem

Today we honor all of you,Who served your country with pride,

You risked your life for all of us,As you fought side by side.

Your strength and courage always showed,No matter what the danger might be,

And you did all of this,So that we could be free.

Thank you for what you've done,And now we will all pray,

For each and everyone of you,On this Memorial Day.

~ Debbie Bongiovanni ~

Stewardship By the Book - Today's reading from Revelation offers a vision of the City of God, the new Jerusalem.
