Theme for the Fifth Sunday of Easter

Jesus show the Father to us in his own Person. The glory of God lies in his rescue of sinners, that is, in Christ's cross. We find the Way, the Truth, and the Life only in this crucified and risen Christ.

Hymn #633

Alleluia. We know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. Alleluia. If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Alleluia.

O God, You make the minds of Your faithful to be of one will. Grant that we may love what You have commanded and desire what You promise, that among the many changes of this world our hearts may be fixed where true joys are found; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
