May 9, 2021: Sixth Sunday of Easter

By the Paschal Mystery, God, through Jesus Christ, saved us from sin, restored us to abundant new Life, and has allowed us to know the Love of God, and to live that Love.

Truly God loved us first, and gives us the ability to love as a way of life.  His love pours forth through all the Earth, that all people may be saved, as St. Peter declares in the first reading.

So He gives us His love freely as a gift, and then we bear fruit as we live that love for others.  

Certainly, we celebrate how God has been made known through the love our mothers have shown us and that we have shared with them.  Even as I reflect on the recent end of the RE year, I think about how much I have given to support my students so they go forth to bear fruit.

Indeed, love is an action that God first took so that we would come to know Him so intimately, as friends, so that we could share that love freely in the same manner as Christ.
