I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ORPHANS
On the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Jesus speaks words of deep comfort: “I will not leave you orphans.” As He prepares His disciples for His departure, He promises the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, who will remain with them forever. True love for Christ is shown not merely in words, but in keeping His commandments and living in communion with Him.
The first reading shows the joy of Samaria as the Gospel is proclaimed and the Holy Spirit is received. Saint Peter, in the second reading, invites us to give reason for the hope within us with gentleness and respect. This Sunday reminds us that Easter faith is a Spirit-filled life of love, courage, witness, and faithful service.
