Gospel Reading Sixth Sunday of Easter
John 15:9-17
 
Such a beautiful and powerful reading this Sunday! God instructs us to remain in His love. We did not choose Him, but He chose us.
​
I want to love God, but by loving Him, I must also love my neighbors. I do love them, but boy, am I quick to judge them. I try to forgive them, but I also find myself getting angry at them again and again. A harsh word is exchanged, and I ignore them; I only criticize them - like I am perfect...

It’s so easy to say love the Father, but loving others, even in the Father’s name, can be tough! I am so grateful that He loves us, and Jesus, I am trying to love others without judgment, but boy, do I need your help in this department!
