FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
3rd May 2015
TODAY’S READINGS:
Make your home in me, as I make mine in you…
God’s basic requirements of us are laid out in this weekend’s
second reading. We are to keep the commandments, we are to
...believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and that we love
one another. Be one, be united, be part of the vine, be in
communion with one another and with me - this is Jesus’
teaching to the Apostles at the Last Supper. In receiving Him in
Holy Communion we are united vertically with the Father and
horizontally with one another. We cannot be truly free until we
are as one with Jesus and one another, for this we need His
grace. As we grow in faith Jesus makes us one by constantly
drawing us more closely to Himself. Daily we are cared for by the
Father, the Vinedresser; we are sustained by the Spirit, the Lifegiver; we are fed by Jesus, we make our home in Him and He
makes His in us. This mutual abiding - He is us and we in Him is the place from which we gain the necessary grace to strive to
fulfil what God asks of us. Let’s welcome our abiding guest...

THE ROSARY IN MAY: As you know May is a
month dedicated to Our Lady. I would like to
suggest that at, or as near to, 6.00 each evening,
when the Angelus bell rings, wherever we are, we
each say a rosary, or part of one, as a parish, so
that we are praying together, and especially
together with those who are sick and those who
cannot be with us on Sundays.
Perhaps we could take the
following intentions: Monday, the sick: Tuesday, Vocations:
Wednesday, Christians in the Middle East: Thursday, those
suffering in disasters: Friday, our own intentions: Saturday, our
families: Sunday, the parish and diocese. Or have your own
intentions as you wish. Even if some of us are not used to saying
the rosary, it would be a good shared experience to do it this
month.
th
FAITH AND JUSTICE COMMISSION MEETING on Saturday 9 May in the parish
