Sixth Sunday of Easter - May 13, 2012
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.’ John 15:11
It was 1 o’clock in the morning when the couple received news that their 2 sons would be returning home from the war in 2 months’ time. They were so excited that they stayed awake all the rest of the night. They knew their sons were still in harm’s way, but there was no room for doubt and worry that night. Their joy sprang from their hope.
As believers, we too are invited to rejoice in something that hasn’t fully come to pass. Jesus has risen victorious from death. He has triumphed in the battle against sin and given us a share in His victory. But at the same time, His full victory has yet to be revealed and we find ourselves living in hope. We still face battles against sin and temptation. We still face situations that threaten our peace or rob us of joy.
Every time we celebrate Mass, gathered as one people, we hear Jesus speak His words to us - words of life that tell us of the promise of heaven and the salvation that He won for us. Offering Him our gifts, we fix our eyes on the altar, where bread and wine are transformed into His body and blood.
This is the reason for our hope! Every time we receive Jesus’ body and blood, we receive a share in the Divine life. We receive more strength, more encouragement and more love to sustain us as we continue our vigil. So, we continue to wait in joyful hope for that day when our joy will be complete.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter… When was the last time you took time to get away as a couple and renew your relationship?

Beginning with the First Sunday of Advent in 2011, Catholics around the U.S. will worship using the new English translation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition. The most noticeable changes are in the Order of Mass and the priest’s prayers. “And also with you” becomes ‘And with your spirit.’ “We believe” becomes ‘I believe’ and ‘one in being’ becomes ‘consubstantial’. Though some words are new, the Mass itself is not changing. As the U.S. bishops remind us, this is an opportunity for liturgical and spiritual renewal. Learning to pray with new words, we enter into the mystery of the Eucharist with greater awareness and appreciation.
