READINGS FOR THE WEEK

Page 3 Sunday, May 16, 2021

SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

READING I: ACTS 1:15-17, 20A, 20C-26

Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers—there was a group of about one hundred and

twenty persons in the one place —. He said, “My brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled

which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas,

who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus. He was numbered among us and was

allotted a share in this ministry.

“For it is written in the Book of Psalms: May another take his office.

“Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the

Lord Jesus came and went among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day on

which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection.” So they

proposed two, Judas called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. Then

they prayed, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have

chosen to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to

his own place.” Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was

counted with the eleven apostles.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

PS 103:1-2, 11-12, 19-20: The Lord has set his throne in heaven.

READING II: 1 JN 4:11-16

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. Yet,

if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us.

This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit.

Moreover, we have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as savior of the world.

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.

We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us.

God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.

GOSPEL: JN 17:11B-19

Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: “Holy Father, keep them in your name

that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. When I was with them I

protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was

lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I

am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave

them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any

more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you

keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the

world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I

sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be

consecrated in truth.”

Seventh Sunday of Easter

“That they may be one just as we are

one!” John 17:11b-19

“I received from the Lord

what I handed on to You.”

Last Saturday, May 8, 2021 the First Holy Communion class of 2021 received Holy Communion for the first time! (Please see insert)

These children received their second year of Holy Communion instruction virtually. The children and their catechists are to be commended for making a challenging year very productive.

The Mass was beautiful and the children well behaved. We are very proud of them. We wish to thank Mr. Don Gehrig & Mr. Richard Wakefield, members of the Knights of Columbus, for their donation of “rosaries” for the class.

The parents are aware that the journey has just begun in earnest for these children. The journey continues through religious education.

Peace and all good!

Our bulletin number is 814950. SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

There is a certain, sacred order to the way God envisions our place in the world. We are created in love, for love. As disciples of Jesus Christ, God’s love is at the heart of all we are, have, and do. Peter was concerned that this holy order be restored following Judas’ betrayal of Jesus. Jesus’ selection of twelve apostles was significant for the Jewish people, a harkening to the twelve tribes of Israel. In prayerfully discerning Matthias as the twelfth apostle, the brothers made certain that God’s holy order would prevail. Their witness ensured that Christ’s love would be shared and embraced to all the world and throughout all time.

KEEPING THE BIG PICTURE IN MIND

As we near the end of the Easter season, the readings lead us to keep the big picture of Christ’s Paschal Mystery—Jesus’ life and ministry, passion, death, and resurrection—and the impact it is to have in our lives at the center of all that we are and do. We who have been drawn to Christ through baptism are called to take on the mind, heart, and life of our Lord. Jesus, who is God’s love incarnate, shows us the extent of God’s love and calls us to live this love in the world. We live in the world but do not belong to it. Ultimately, we belong to God. When we show love, especially when we sacrifice for the sake of another, we share in Christ’s saving love, building a bridge between God and humanity in Christ’s name.

MADE SACRED IN TRUTH

Jesus prayed to God the Father about his disciples, “Consecrate them in the truth.” To consecrate is to make holy. Jesus asks God to make us holy in the truth of God’s love which is poured upon us through the Holy Spirit. Think about this: we call the moment in which the bread and wine at Mass become the Body and Blood of Christ the consecration. The bread and wine are transformed and made sacred, holy. Remember, too, that as the gifts are brought forward for consecration, we join our lives, gifts, and resources in prayer, asking God to bless us, to consecrate us as well. In baptism, we are consecrated—we are set apart in Christ’s love. Knowing this should make a difference in the way we live our lives. Our consecration should be the benchmark for our attitudes and actions, the choices and decisions we make each day. What does it mean to you to be consecrated, to be called to holiness? How does this affect the way you live?
