Sixth Sunday of Easter

Love one another… this type of love is not what the world calls love, but a love that is supernatural. The world's idea of love is warm affections, feelings, etc, or a special devotion to someone. But the theological understanding is found even in this passage - great love requires great sacrifice! To lay down one's life for a friend, this is love! Love is our calling, our destiny, and our design. May we live this love always!

I was able to get my Parent's Guide for Vocations adapted to the Kindle. I also was able to add a "Look inside" feature, so you can see the Table of Contents, Index, and random pages.

Fifth Sunday of Easter

Christ is the vine, we are the branches. We cannot do anything without Him, and with Him, all things are possible. He prunes us through His word and through showing us the futileness of our deeds apart from Him, so that we may bear greater fruit in Him.

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. THis is true in two ways - first, He is incarnate for us, setting aside the rights and glories of His divinity to become human, and second, lays down that even that life on the cross for the redemption of all the world. He confronts the wolf directly, not letting the evil one scatter what His Father has gathered. May we learn to hear the Shepherd's voice, follow that voice, and trust Him with our lives.
