For 4 May 2026, Monday of the 5th week of Eastertide, based on John 14:21-26, sent in from Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Jesus said to his disciples, They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me.
“I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.

Your preaching has inspired me for years. It has been encouraging, sometimes challenging, and always captivating. Today’s homily was especially meaningful for me because I do struggle at this stage of my life (75) with the dynamic nature of my faith. I lean back in the arms of God one moment and feel bereft the next. Thank you for giving me a context and, of course, the reminder to invite the Holy Spirit to accompany me.
