Bulletin Shorts for the Sixth Sunday of Easter

Sixth Sunday of Easter – 17 May 2020  

Acts 8:5-8, 14-17.  Psalm 66:1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 16, 20.  1 Peter 3:15-18.  John 14:15-21.  

Not Orphaned!  Because the risen Lord and the Spirit of Truth are always with us, we are not abandoned.  Because we are not abandoned, we must exhibit both love and obedience.  Saint Peter proclaims in the Second Reading, “Always be ready to give an explanation…for the reason of your hope.”  Act accordingly.  

• How will my every action proclaim Christ’s presence in my life and in the life of the world?  
• How can I advocate, aid another’s need this week?  
• Whom will I love, how will I love as Jesus Christ loves me?
