Sixth Sunday of Easter • Year A

Christ wants to live his life in us. Yes. That is it, quite simply! And in the Gospel today, Jesus elaborates on how this is going to happen in and through his disciples. The Gospel takes us back to Jesus with his disciples after the Last Supper. He is preparing his disciples for a transition that will follow his suffering, death, and resurrection.
Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time • Year B

I often share in a wedding homily my hope that the couple about to exchange vows will be open to the possibility of many “awakenings” that God might have in store for them which can lead to a deepening of their love for one another. What about us? God continually invites us to be awakened to God’s love and goodness, so often revealed to us in the many relationships that are part of our lives. Are we open to experiencing and receiving that love, especially in and through those who might think differently from us?
