6^th SUNDAY OF EASTER (A)

May 10, 2026

Acts 8: 5-8, 14-17; Psalm 66;
1 Peter 3: 15-18; John 14: 15-21

By: Jude Siciliano , OP 

From today’s Gospel reading:

And I will ask the Father, who will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,

because it neither sees nor knows [the Spirit].

Reflection:

Jesus also promises that we are not alone. He says the Father will send the Advocate, the Spirit of truth, to remain with us. This is a comforting reminder that the Holy Spirit is active in our lives – in our families, in our parish community, and in the quiet moments when we seek guidance. Even when we feel uncertain about the future, God’s Spirit dwells within us, strengthening us to live as disciples.

So, we ask ourselves:

·         How do my daily actions show my love for Christ?

·         When have I sensed the guidance or comfort of the Holy Spirit in my life?

·         Is there someone I am being called to love more patiently or generously this week? 

Closing Prayers:

1. Lord Jesus, you promised never to leave us alone and to send your Spirit to guide and strengthen us. Help us to show our love for you by the way we live and care for others.

2. Fill our hearts with your peace and make us faithful witnesses to your presence.

Amen.
