SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
First Reading: Acts 15:1-2, 22-29
Some men informed the Gentiles that they must be
circumcised if they wished to be saved, because of the
Old Laws. Disciples then went forth to tell the
Gentiles to honor only those rules which were strictly
necessary, such as abstaining from eating meat
sacrificed to idols and illicit sexual union.
Second Reading: Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23
John depicts Jerusalem coming out of heaven,
sparkling with the radiance of precious jewels. Angels
were stationed at each of its twelve gates, and each gate
bore the name of one tribe of Israel. The city had no
temple, because God was its temple. The glory and
light of God and the Lamb also replaced their need for
the sun.
Gospel: John 14:23-29
Jesus tells his disciples, "Anyone who loves me will be
true to my word." For those who do honor his word,
both Jesus and God will love them and stay with them
always. He also tells them that God will send the Holy
Spirit in his place to give them the instructions they will
need. Jesus then tells them that peace is his farewell
gift to them.
“Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever loves me will
keep my word, and my Father will love him, and
we will come to him and make our dwelling with
him.’ And now I have told you this before it
happens, so that when it happens you may
believe.”
Following the resurrection, Jesus spent time preparing
His disciples for His taking leave of them. They were
to be pleased that He would go, and then would receive
a special gift, the Advocate, the Paraclete. The Spirit
would come to teach and remind.
Jesus’ leaving would not be an absence, but lead to a
greater presence. His disciples, and we as missionary
disciples, would become dwelling places of God’s
Spirit. His gift is ours, provided we love Him.
May the departure of Jesus, the ascension, prepare us
for the special moment and allow us to be truly
dwelling places for the Lord. He comes to reside with
me. He is present in me and in others. I ask the gift of
discernment to discover His abiding presence with me
today.
Sixth Sunday of Easter
A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar
Today Jesus gives this advice: “Do not let your hearts
be troubled.” Worry and anxiety can consume our lives
preventing us from seeing the love which surrounds us
and binds us to one another. Don’t miss the forest for
the trees. We are living today what we worried about
yesterday.
May 5, 2016
Ascension of the Lord
A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar
Jesus tells us today, “you are my witnesses” and
guarantees the “promise of the Father” to “clothe us
with the power to accomplish this mission. It is not
worldly power which dominates and manipulates. It is
the power of the Kingdom of God to live in peace,
forgiveness, compassion, service to others, love of
enemies and care for the poor and defenseless.

“Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: ‘El que me ama será
fiel a mi palabra, y mi Padre lo amará; iremos a él
y habitaremos en él.’ Les he dicho esto antes de
que suceda, para que cuando se cumpla, ustedes
crean.”
Luego de la resurrección, Jesús pasó tiempo
preparando a Sus discípulos para Su partida. A ellos les
complacería que El volviera al Padre, y ellos recibirían
un don especial, el defensor, el Paráclito. El Espíritu
Santo vendría a enseñarles y protegerlos.
La partida de Jesús no sería una ausencia, sino llevaría
a una mayor presencia. Sus discípulos y nosotros, como
discípulos misioneros, nos convertiríamos en moradas
para el Espíritu de Dios. Su don es nuestro, siempre y
cuando lo amemos.
Que la partida de Jesús, la ascensión, nos prepare para
