Name: 5th Sunday Of Easter by St. John Paul II Catholic Newman Center
Duration: 13 min 10 s
Description: The word “disciple” appears more than 275 times in the pages of the New Testament. Jesus makes it abundantly clear that the fullness of life for us is to remain in Him always. A disciple is one who desires to allow the master to live in and through oneself. May we allow the Father to prune away anything that is not of Jesus.

As we begin this Lenten journey, the Lord invites us into the wilderness with Him, which is a place of encounter and testing. By purifying our desires and thoughts, the Lord opens new ways for us to encounter Him. May we have the strength to follow where He leads us.

First Sunday Of Lent

“To be bothered by sin” In the gospel today, Jesus cleanses the temple out of desire to free us from the effects of sin. We are called to have the same zeal for the things of the Father that Jesus displayed. May this lent continue to be a time when we seek to grow in holiness and virtue.

3rd Sunday Of Lent

At this halfway point of our Lenten journey we are reminded of the gift of God’s mercy. Through the death and resurrection, the Lord brings us into the light of life. May we continue this journey of conversion with minds and hearts open to His grace.

4th Sunday Of Lent

As we move ever closer to the great celebration of the Lord’s death and resurrection, we are reminded of our deep desire to want to see Jesus. The Lord reminds us that we are called to become like the grain of wheat which falls to the ground and dies so that we can receive new life. May His grace always allow us to become more like Him in every way.

5th Sunday of Lent

On this Divine Mercy Sunday, we recall the Lord’s incredible gift of reconciliation and forgiveness. When the disciples were hiding in the upper room out of fear after the Lord’s death, Jesus appears before them to offer His peace and healing. May we continue to grow in our faith and trust that the Risen Lord is more powerful than our sinfulness.

Divine Mercy Sunday

In the first reading for this weekend, we hear of St. Peter boldly proclaiming the truth of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Peter and the other apostles were convinced that the Lord had indeed been raised from the dead and they were convicted by the Holy Spirit to convince the whole world of Christ’s victory. May we continue to grow in our conviction of sharing the Easter joy with others.

Third Sunday Of Easter

On this Good Shepherd Sunday, we are invited to rejoice in our truest identity as being the sons and daughters of God. Jesus, our good shepherd, lays down His life for us so that we might know new life in our Father’s house. May the risen Jesus continue to help us embrace the gift of child-like faith so as to be more dependent on our Father in Heaven.
