Sunday 3 May

Fifth Sunday of Easter

Acts 9:26-31, Ps.22, 1 John 3:18-24, John 15:1-8

Companion and Friend

We experience that with Christ our generous and incomparable Friend, that He is there when we need Him, on our side, for our good; keeping us going, giving us strength, helping us to grow. He is always, always there, like the Vine for the branches – continually giving life: in His Person, from His Cross, in the Scriptures, in the Eucharist. He is the source of life not just now, but forever.

Mary, gentle Mother of our Redeemer, pray for us.
