Let us pray to be forgiving people: Lord, make my heart like yours.

Christ taught: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”

Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

You are the Christ, the son of the living God.

Let’s embrace the hard days during these difficult times. The eternal reward He promises, will be worth it.

Our lives become an adventure, rooted gratefully in the God who always cares for us.

Pray that through all hardship, we will love like God does.

Let your kindness comfort me according to your promise to your servants.

The kingdom of God grows with the help of God, and without this help, our efforts are in vain.

Stewardship living requires a deep reliance on the Word of God and the sacraments which continuously nourish and fertilize the soil of our lives.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”

“You must think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.”

“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.”

Celebrating the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ

“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes might not perish but might have eternal life.”

“As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”

“Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?”

God must come first in our lives, and that love of God shows itself in concrete actions

The gospel presents Jesus as the guide in life, the ‘way, truth and life’. The Christian centre is the person of Christ.

Today’s readings on this fourth Sunday of Easter offer us a glimpse into the heart of our loving Saviour.
