"God
greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above
every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and
under the earth, and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father."

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
May 13, 2012
Because God gave us a free will we can in a moment of
folly, a moment of madness really, deprive ourselves of
the privileges and possessions which Christ has made
available to us. We can choose to exchange an eternity
of happiness for a few fleeting years of self-indulgence
on earth. We can fling Christ's gift of love back in his
face and tell him we don't want it. God forbid that we
should ever act like this, that we should ever forget
God's purpose in creating us. It is a marvelous thing to
be alive, if we have hope in a future life. If nothing
awaited us but the grave, then to live on this earth,
which is a valley of sorrow and tears for the vast
majority, would be the cruelest of jests. But of this we
need have no fear. Life on earth is but a short prelude
to our real existence. If we use this brief period as
Christ has told us how to use it, death for us will be
the passage into the eternal mansions. Be grateful to
God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; love the Blessed
Trinity; prove your love by loving your fellowman. By
doing this you are fulfilling the whole law and the
prophets; and your are assuring yourself of the place in
heaven which Christ has won for you.
