REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL
Our reading today continues to be from the Gospel of John,
and interestingly it’s from Jesus’ Last Supper discourse. So
even though we are in the Easter season, we hearken back to
the Last Supper for words of wisdom from Jesus. And these
words are appropriate as we approach the conclusion of the
Easter season at Pentecost, the feast of the giving of the
Holy Spirit, which we will celebrate in two weeks. But here
Jesus tells the disciples forthrightly that the Father will send
the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, in Jesus’ name. The role of
the spirit is to teach the disciples, and to remind them of
what Jesus said. The Spirit then is a gift of the Father. This
gift was given not only to that generation of Christians but
to us too. We have that same Advocate to teach us and the
other followers of Jesus. But that is not the only gift we
receive.
A gift of Jesus given to the disciples is peace, but Jesus is
quick to say that it’s not the peace given by the world, but
that given by Jesus. The world’s peace can be understood as
the absence of war, or a cessation of hostilities. Others
interpret it as the peace gained by domination of subject
peoples. And in Jesus’ time and place we recall that the
Romans were the occupying power. A generation after
Jesus, the city of Jerusalem with its temple would be
destroyed by Rome. At the conclusion of that campaign the
Romans would say they pacified Judea! The death,
destruction, slaughter, fire, and pillaging of Jerusalem and
its temple meant for the Romans that the land was at peace!
So, no, Jesus’ peace is not like that given by the world,
given by the Romans.
The peace Jesus gives is an interior wholeness, to be at
peace with oneself and the world around us. The inner
disposition of a disciple is one of peace, not aggression;
peace, rather than anger; peace, not hostility; peace, rather
than anxiety, peace, not pursuit of ill-gotten gain. The life
of a disciple is marked by the gift of peace given by Jesus. Living Liturgy year C.

LIVING THE PASCHAL MYSTERY
How many of us live lives of peace? And by peace do we mean absence
of strife? Or the peace that Christ gives? The peace that Christ gives is
not only for those disciples in the New Testament, it is for us. The
relationship we have with Christ means that we do not look to outside
forces or external sources for validation. Our worth and sense of self is
not measured by a job, position, house, children, family, retirement plan,
or the praise of others. Instead, our peace and well-being come from
Christ himself. That peace and security can never be taken away. We ae
not longer subject to the whims of others, the hazards of the world, or the
vagaries of passing fancies. Regardless of our condition in life, we have
something fundamental at our core that is a gift. Let us rest in the
knowledge that we have been given the gift of peace that comes from
Christ himself.

KEEPING OUR CHURCH CLEAN
Our cleaning ladies on Saturday do a wonderful job at keeping our church
clean and looking wonderful for our Sunday Liturgies. You can assist them
by not placing candy, food items, gum, paper, pen caps, etc. in the pew
holders. We are finding an increase amount of these items stuffed in these
holders which makes it difficult for our cleaning ladies and is time
consuming to clean.
