Parish Bulletin
Sixth Sunday of Easter
The Radiant Glory of God
Jesus said to his disciples: "Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I leave you". We are very conscious today of all the trouble there is in our world and yet peace is a longing in every heart. As Christians we have a great responsibility to work for peace in every way we can and in every situation where there is war or conflict. However, the peace that is Christ's gift to us is much more than an absence of war or conflict. His peace, for which we also have a great responsibility, is about spreading joy and happiness in our homes and community. It is about practising forgiveness so that the past is always left behind us. It is about creating an atmosphere in our homes and community in which each individual can feel at ease and be glad to be there. It is about letting Christ's presence change us to the extent that, even in the midst of suffering and division, we can be a people who look to the radiant glory of God.
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
