My Dear Parishioners,
Sixth Sunday of Easter….Greetings to All
The readings today feature the Holy Spirit and the radiant glory that is to enlighten us. Jesus is gradually approaching the end of his earthly ministry, so He promises to send us the Holy Spirit. If we remain docile to Him-the Counsel of the Holy Spirit, he will guide us in all our decisions and ways through this world. Jesus assures us that the Holy Spirit will teach and remind us all that he has taught us. We need to be attentive to Him, to read the signs of our time and succeed in our mission in our world today.
Jesus said to his disciples: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of Truth, who remains with you.”
“And whoever loves me, will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.”

God Bless You,
Fr. George, MSFS
