Let’s explore some of the themes in the readings for the 6th Sunday of Easter.

1st Reading – Acts of the Apostles 8:5-8,14-17

  • Philip continues the ministry of Jesus in Samaria, driving out evil and performing mighty acts of healing.
  • The Apostles, hearing about Philip’s ministry, send Peter and John to pray over the people that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

    • Psalm 66:1-7,16,20

    • “Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.”
    • Nature itself gives praise and glory to the tremendous deeds that God has done.

      • 2nd Reading – 1st Peter 3:15-18

      • This passage readily applies to our modern world, inspiring us to “be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.”
      • The practical, spiritual advice reminds us to be reverent and gentle, keeping our focus on Christ.

        • Gospel – John 14:15-21

        • Out of love for the Lord, we keep the commandments of Christ.
        • Jesus will ask the Father to send us the Advocate – the Spirit of truth – to remain with us.
