JOHN 15:9-17 ABIDE IN JESUS’ LOVE. In the name + of Jesus. M:       Alleluia!  Christ is risen! C:        He is risen indeed!  Alleluia!      The readings today have a lot to say about love.  The Father loves Jesus, and Jesus loves the Father.  Jesus loves us, and we should abide in that love.  If we love Jesus we would also love our neighbor.  And if anyone does not love his neighbor he cannot truly say that he loves God.  I suppose the readings today should be widely accep ..read more

When some hardship or disaster enters your life, who is responsible for it?  Did God send it, or was it the devil at work? It is easy to say, "Everything good is from God, but everything bad is from the devil."  If we hold to this belief, then we may also conclude that there are times when God loses control and the devil has gained the upper hand. King Solomon wrote, "In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him" (Ecclesiastes 7:14).  Base ..read more

JOHN 10:11-18 LISTEN TO YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW HIM CLOSELY. In the name + of Jesus. M:       Alleluia!  Christ is risen! C:        He is risen indeed!  Alleluia!      Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd.  The word “good,” employed here by Jesus, refers to something that is beautiful or useful.  It is the same word that Peter used at Jesus’ transfiguration when he said, “Lord, it is good that we are here” (Matthew 17:4).  Then he suggested that they build three shelters.  ..read more
