Saturday May 3, 2025 and
Sunday, May 4, 2025 ~ 3rd Sunday of Easter
The disciples make a big splash and eat breakfast with the risen Jesus. Wading in the water (remembering Baptism) and eating with Jesus (celebrating Holy Communion) is our weekly encounter with the risen Christ. Jesus asks us again and again: Do you love me? And Jesus invites us, again and again, to follow Him, bringing the Easter life to others.
Sunday,May 11, 2025 ~ 4th Sunday of Easter
The gift of new life, of eternal life, is the gift of the risen Christ. It is the promise of Jesus. It was true for Dorcas in Joppa. It was true for those “who have come out of the great ordeal” in the Revelation vision. It is true for us and for all the baptized: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23)
Sunday, May 18, 2025 ~ 5th Sunday of Easter
Easter initiates a new day. It anticipates a new heaven and a new earth. The risen Christ is making all things new. In the mystery of Holy Baptism, God has made new people of us. Today Jesus invites us to see everyone in a new light — through the lens of love.
Sunday, May 25, 2025 ~ 6th Sunday of Easter
Visions abound in the readings for the sixth Sunday of Easter. Paul has a vision about what to do. John has a vision of what will be. Jesus provides visions of peace that surpasses human understanding and power beyond human imagination.

May the beauty of God be reflected in your eyes, the love of God be
reflected in your hands, the wisdom of God be reflected in your words,
and the knowledge of God flow from your heart,
that all might see, and seeing, believe.
