Fifth Sunday of Easter

News and Notes:

The First Letter of John has some good advice for us who want to remain in Jesus, and help others do the same. “Love in deed and in truth and not merely talk about it.”  Like our cars and our printers, our lives need to be properly aligned; because our actions need to match our words.  We produce evidence of our discipleship not just when we receive the sacraments of the Church, but when we choose to be a visible sign of Christ’s love.

May the Eucharist we celebrate and receive strengthen us to live our faith and make choices that are consistent with our identity as children of God, branches on the vine, those who strive every day to remain in Jesus!
