HEALING MASS

Everyone is welcome to attend a Healing Mass on

Wednesday, May 29th at 7 pm at

Most Precious Blood Church

Love one another….

In today’s Gospel, Jesus prepares his disciples for a

different way of life, one where he is no longer physi-

cally present to them. He reminds them of his love for

them, and teaches that they need to respond to that

love and to express it, so that others may know that

they are disciples of Jesus. He is trying to help them to

work out what it means to be a disciple.

As we hear throughout the Acts of the Apostles, the

early disciples constantly had to face misunderstanding

and even hostility. They faced crises – and they had to

make major decisions about their identity as the

Church. How open should they be? Should they close

themselves so as to preserve what they what they be-

lieved in, and keep it safe? Or should they spread the

Good News freely, and accept those who would not

traditionally have been accepted as part of their com-

munity? How should they interact with other commu-

nities?

Jesus told them that they were to learn from him.

What sort of love had Jesus shown in his life and minis-

try? Jesus’ love was not exclusive. It was not focused

only on those who seemed to be “good”. In fact, his

love reached out even more to those who were exclud-

ed, to those who were treated as “unclean” because

they had not kept the rules. St. Paul, too, knew that

God’s love could not be contained or restricted. God

reaches out to everyone. God’s love is wide enough

and deep enough to enfold everyone, whoever they

may be.

Like the first disciples, we too are followers of Christ,

and Christ calls us, as he called them, to be witnesses

READINGS FOR May 26, 2019 Sixth Sunday of Easter

First Reading: Acts 15:1-2, 22-29

Second Reading: Revelations 21:10-14, 22-23

Gospel: John 14:23-29

of his love for all. What does this mean for the Chris-

tian community today?

We are called to decide, like St. Paul and St. Peter early

in the Church’s life, what sort of community we should

be: should we be restricted and closed, in order to pro-

tect ourselves and our faith; or should we be open,

compassionate and welcoming? The early Church

chose to reach out to others. It faced difficulties, chal-

lenges and threats. It faced violence and hostility. But

even when they met opposition and persecution, the

members of those early communities continued to wel-

come and reach out to others in love.

Many people today are afraid of those who are differ-

ent from them – and this fear limits them. But if we are

confident in God’s love and choose to follow Christ’s

example, we can overcome our fear. Fear hampers true

enjoyment of life; it stops us doing things. We cannot

flourish in a state of fear – if instead of seeing possibili-

ties we see threats, instead of hope and dreams we

worry ourselves into nightmares. The early disciples

must have been afraid at times too, but their faith was

so strong that they faced their challenges with confi-

dence. Through prayer, through reflection and through

meaningful conversation with others, we too can face

our own challenges with confidence and trust in God.
