6th Sunday of Easter, Year B (May 9, 2021)

"This is my commandment: love one another as I love you." A genuinely loving relationship is an encounter with God, for God is love.
5th Sunday of Easter, Year B (May 2, 2021)

"Remain in me, as I remain in you." We are one with Jesus.
4th Sunday of Easter, Year B (Apr 25, 2021)

"I am the good shepherd and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father." Our Easter joy is revealed in the love of Jesus our shepherd.
3rd Sunday of Easter, Year B (Apr 18, 2021)

"Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached... You are witnesses of these things." Easter is a call to action to give witness to the Good News!
2nd Sunday of Easter [Sunday of Divine Mercy], Year B (Apr 11, 2021)

"In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments." Divine Mercy reminds us that our love for God is a call to love each other as God's children.

The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God."

Mary, the Mother God, found favor with God through her openness to his will. With the Advent of Christ's birth, we renew our own commitment to follow wherever he leads.
