YEAR A - PENTECOST
Acts 2:1-11; Cor 12:3-712-13; Gospel John 20:19-23

On the feast of St Matthias, we read in the gospel, how the Apostles were commissioned by Jesus to go out to the whole world and bear spiritual fruit. Let us pray for Kingdom love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control, to rule our world.

Seventh Sunday of Easter. Year A

1st Reading ACTS 1: 12-14

Gospel JOHN 17:1-11

The two excerpts chosen from todays scripture are very important in understanding the Ascension and how we could react to it with love, truth and joy like the Apostles and Mary. This is a time of ending and a time of new beginning and both can be stressful even traumatic. Luke chose the Ascension to be the last event in his Gospel and the first point in his account of the Acts of the Apostles, showing how significant this time after the Resurrection is to Mary and the 11 Apostles who are all named here. Mary makes the Apostles into a whole group again their number being 12 once more. In many ways we look at Mary during May, particularly with pilgrimages to Lourdes being planned and completed. She is the one who completes our journey to Jesus. She has been with him every step of the way and beyond. Today we still see her as one who can support us in times of stress or family struggles, in sickness and in health providing a means of prayer and intercession. Lets not forget Our Blessed Lady was present with Jesus in all of this.

John carries on from last Sunday with more encouragement for his disciples who are bewildered and numbed with the sense of impending tragedy. The scene is set at the Last Supper and by this time of night a sense of foreboding must have enveloped the whole group
