THE WORKINGS OF THE SPIRIT Anyone who has seen a loved one off to a new adventure knows how difficult it is to rejoice, even when we are reasonably optimistic about their future. So, we can imagine how difficult it must have been for the disciples to rejoice in Jesus’ announced departure. Today’s Gospel is part of Jesus’ Last Supper discourse, recorded only by John. Jesus announces shocking news. He must go to the Father, and they should rejoice in this. To help them through this, Jesus gives his disciples his gift of peace and promises an Advocate. From our privileged position in history, we can see that all that Jesus promises comes to pass. The Church has grown and still exists on this earth because of the abiding Spirit. But living by the Spirit and entering into the peace of Christ is no small task. Jesus doesn’t promise the apostles a rose garden. He is realistic about the costs of discipleship. And, mercifully, he is also clear about its rewards.

The Second Collection this weekend is for the Outreach Center. The money collected is used to help with the needs of the community. Please be generous. La segunda colecta de hoy es para apoyar el Centro de Asistencia. Los fondos recaudados se utilizarán para las necesidades de la comunidad. Por favor, sean generosos.

Silver Circle Group (Those Over 50) meets this Thursday. We start with Mass at 9:00 a.m. and then go to the parish hall for fun, games, fellowship and lunch served at noon (lunch cost $2.50). Come join us. You may come alone or bring a guest for all or part of the morning even if only for lunch.
