Sixth
Sunday of Easter
The
Spirit of God’s love
Jesus said to his
disciples: “You did
not choose me; no, I chose you.”
Anybody who is involved in
a team sport will know the tension
there is in wondering if they will
be picked for the team and then the
delight when they are picked or the
utter disappointment when they are
not. Jesus has picked each one of
us for his team of disciples because
the task of transforming the world
is so vast and because each one of
us has our own unique gifts and opportunities
for the task. Our responsibility is
to say yes to his call and take our
part in his mission. As always this
begins in our homes with the most
intimate relationships of human life,
to make those the best they can possibly
be. Our mission is also to our faith
community where we have a special
relationship in the Body and Blood
of Christ. And it extends to the world
in which we live. This week we can
refresh the enthusiasm and joy of
being chosen.
