Gospel Reflection
May 10, 2015
6th Sunday of Easter
Acts 10:25–26, 34–35, 44–48; Ps 98:1, 2–3, 3–4
1 Jn 4:7–10; Jn 15:9–17
With the story of the baptism of Cornelius and his
household, the church takes a significant step forward in its development. By accepting gentiles as
members without requiring them to embrace Judaism
first, Peter opens the doors of faith to the whole
world. But the emphasis continues to remain on the
fact that it is God at work in the hearts of the disciples
and those coming into the faith. God has brought
them together, and Peter announces that “God
shows no partiality”, accepting “whoever fears him
and acts uprightly”. Because Cornelius and his
household are given the gift of “the Holy Spirit”, Peter
realizes it would be wrong to “withhold the water for
baptizing these people”.
The author of First John exhorts us to “love one another, because love is of God”. He goes on to say
that God’s love for us is revealed in Jesus, God’s
“only Son,” sent “into the world so that we might have
life through him”. God’s love initiates this relationship
between the human and the divine, and we are called
to respond to this love by loving God and each other.
In the Gospel, Jesus also calls us to “love one another as I love you”. As the Father has loved Jesus, so
Jesus loves us. This text, taken from John’s Last
Supper narrative, provides us with Jesus’s final
words to his disciples before his death. He anticipates his death as an example of this love when he
tells them, “No one has greater love than this, to lay
down one’s life for one’s friends”. The word “love”
occurs 10 times in this chapter. The example of love
was key to Jesus’s understanding of his mission and
the mission of his disciples.
For Reflection: Is my view of church more inclusive
or exclusive? Does knowing that I was loved by God
first make it easier to live the commandment of love?

Exploring the Trinity
Join us for the final Generations of Faith session of
the season on the Trinity on May 17th at 10 AM or
May 18th at 6 PM in the Gym. We will be taking a
look at modern theologians and what they have to
say about this topic and looking at the history that
got us to where we are today.
All in the parish are welcome. We open with a meal
and opening presentation, then we discuss the topic in a more hands on manner in age group break
outs. If this is your first session, we wave the fee.
Planning to Marry?
The Diocese requires that
couples planning to marry
begin their preparation with
the church at least six
months in advance. Couples must contact Father
Ed to begin 232-2713.
All-Day Marriage Preparation sessions will be offered in the parish on June 21st. Couples may
contact Jody and Dan Bohney to register for one of
the sessions: [email protected] 219-6964030.
The Conversation
Continues. . .
Join us on Thursday mornings for conversation,
fellowship and coffee.
We cover current events, hot topic issues in the
church, new (and old) DVD releases on church topics and never is there any such thing as a stupid
question!
We meet in the Faith Formation Office in the school
building around 9:15 AM. All adults in the parish are
welcome!
Those who need
our prayers…

Massive Earthquake in Nepal Catholic Relief Services

Upcoming Events for Teens in May
Open Gym
Wednesdays, May 13th and 27th from 6:30~8 PM
VBS (Vacation Bible School)
All (Teens) interested in volunteering please attend our planning meeting, Sunday, May 3rd at
6:30 to 8 PM.
We make a big deal of passing
out Rice Bowls each Lent, and
then collecting them. Here is an
example of what your donation
can do:
CRS (Catholic Relief Services)
and our partner Caritas Nepal
plan to support 10,000 families
with emergency shelter, blankets, water treatment kits and
hygiene kits. Because this region is known for earthquakes,
CRS had prepositioned emergency aid in nearby Bihar, India.
Temporary shelter kits, water
purification kits and hygiene kits
for 2,000 families–are being
transported to Nepal for immediate distribution.
An additional 3,000 tarpaulins
will be flown from a hub in Dubai within the next couple days.
CRS is also procuring emergency supplies in India. And more
emergency personnel are on
the way. CRS has made an initial commitment of $825,000 to
relief efforts in Nepal, a figure
that is expected to rise as
needs become clearer.
As you can see, CRS works
with the people of the region
who are struggling, plans ahead
to ensure that a faster response
is possible when tragedy does
strike and commits to rebuilding
side by side with government
and other relief based agencies.
