Today we celebrate the 6th Sunday of Easter. We are again reminded today that the heart of Christianity is love: love of God, love of one another. Jesus tells us that we have to love one another as he has loved us.
God loves you but it does not make sense even to mention this if the addressee does not believe in love at all. Love is something that must be learned and experienced from early infancy. It must be developed and fostered first on the human level; only then can it be given its religious dimension of God/ and because of God the neighbor.
Let us ask our Lord in this Eucharist that we may grow in this openness of genuine love.
“The command I give you is this, that you love one another.”

Reflections
- As we meditate on the image of the vine, or on the word “abide”, how is this reflecting your own community? Do you belong to any believing community? Who are the members? What does this community mean to you?
- Love is not a word but an action. What are some of the problems in your community? Misunderstanding? How does a loving action bring the community together?
- Reflect on an experience of being loved by someone, recall the happiness, how is this experience a manifestation of Jesus’ love?
Welcome Our Visitors
One Main Point
“Love one another as I have loved you.” This love is beautifully demonstrated in Jesus’ willingness to lay down his life on our behalf. By loving each other, we remain in Jesus’ love
