Fifth Sunday of Easter

Acts 9: 26-31

When he got to Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him: they could not believe he was really a disciple. Barnabas, however, took charge of him, introduced him to the apostles, and explained how the Lord had appeared to him and spoken to him on his journey, and how he had preached fearlessly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. Saul now started to go round with them in Jerusalem, preaching fearlessly in the name of the Lord. But after he had spoken to the Hellenists and argued with them, they became determined to kill him. When the brothers got to know of this, they took him to Caesarea and sent him off from there to Tarsus.

The churches throughout Judaea, Galilee and Samaria were now left in peace, building themselves up and living in the fear of the Lord; encouraged by the Holy Spirit, they continued to grow.

 

1 John 3: 18-24

Children, 
our love must be not just words 
    or mere talk, 
but something active and genuine.
This will be the proof 
    that we belong to the truth, 
and it will convince us in his presence, 
even if our own feelings condemn us, 
that God is greater than our feelings 
    and knows all things. 
My dear friends, 
if our own feelings do not condemn us, 
we can be fearless before God,  

and whatever we ask
we shall receive from him,
because we keep his commandments
and do what is acceptable to him.
His commandment is this,
that we should believe
    in the name of his Son Jesus Christ
and that we should love one another
as he commanded us.
Whoever keeps his commandments
remains in God, and God in him.
And this is the proof
    that he remains in us:
the Spirit that he has given us.

   

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

   

Fifth Sunday of Easter

May 10, 2009 (excerpt)

    Jesus is telling us today, without him, all of our lives would go nowhere. He tells us: “Without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither.” When we grow up and leave home, our love and our connection with our parents may remain with us, but we are really on our own. It can never be that way with Jesus. We need our Lord when we’re 60 or 70 as much as when we’re 6 or 7. We need him all the time. If we reflect deeply, we know there is a power greater than ourselves that we depend on and that we constantly need to sustain us. We are connected with that power through Jesus, the true vine.

    The prophets, hundreds of years before Christ, used the vineyard as an image of Israel. Just as a farmer would cultivate his vineyard and care for it and expect to harvest grapes from it, so God would care for his people and expect good works from them: devout worship, obedience to his commandments, justice and love for the poor and vulnerable. Jesus is telling us today that through our union with him we are God’s people.

    Jesus has tried to tell us that in many ways. I would like to mention just five statements where Jesus uses metaphors that tell us how important it is that we remain united with him. Notice each of these begins with the words: “I am.” Last Sunday we heard him tell us “I am the good shepherd.” “I am the light of the world.” “I am the bread of life.” “I am the resurrection and the life.” And the fifth one we heard today: “I am the true vine.” If we had time we could reflect upon how vital each of these items is: shepherds for sheep, light and food for us, the vine for one of its branches. Since vine and branches is the theme of today’s gospel, let us stay with that image for just another few minutes.

Quite simply, a vine is an organic structure that is nurtured by the rain and the sun; it is fed by the sap that flows through the stem and the branches; it grows and produces fruit. Jesus tells us he is the true vine, drawing life from the Father and communicating that life to all those who remain united with him. In other words there is a mysterious, living connection between each of us and Christ and a mysterious and living connection uniting us with one another through our union with Christ.

St. Paul used a similar metaphor when he wrote that we are the body of Christ. He tells us Christ is head of the body and we are the members. We are feet, hands, arms, legs, etc. through whom Christ lives in the world today. We are united with Christ and with each other through the Spirit. Pope Pius XII wrote an encyclical called the Mystical Body of Christ describing this union. This is not a connection we can examine under a microscope or test for in any other way, other than the test Jesus gave us when he said “by their fruits you will know them.” The way we live our lives shows whether we live in Christ or not.

                R. God gave us mothers

                We came into this world because
                    our mother had us —

                In order for us to be conceived
                    we needed a father —

                We understand that principal —

                God gives us Himself —

                Jesus comes to us in His Divinity and
                    humanity in the Eucharist —

                As we go to the heart of Mary
                    our spiritual Mother —
                    the Holy Spirit forms us more and more
                    in the image of God.

                The Father created us uniquely
                    out of all the souls He
                    could have created.

 

Luke 4: 18

The spirit of the Lord is on me,
for he has anointed me
to bring the good news to the afflicted.
He has sent me
   to proclaim liberty to captives,
sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,

    

                Sing: Sing a New Song

                Sing: Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

                R. You can stand when you sing these

                Let the rains come to wash the
                    earth
                    Like water washing the
                        earth let grace outpour
                        on the men that they are
                        made clean —               

                Sing: Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

                R. Help me God to do Your will —

                Song: I Am a God of Justice —

                R. I came from my mother's womb
                    naked, I will take nothing
                    with me —
                    I will return to You God
                    This is my desire —

                Cloth my soul with
                    Your gifts —
                    Bless me and
                    Let me be filled with
                        Your life —

                Incline my ear to Your
                    will God —
 

Sing: Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
 

                Sing: Oh Lord Hear My Prayer —

                R. Show Your mercy to me Lord —
                I want to do Your will —

                Sing: Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

                R. Remember Your Church,
                    Oh Lord —

 

 

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

   

                Sing: Oh Bread of Life —

                R. Oh Most Sacred Heart of Jesus —
                    shower us with Your blessing —
                    shower Your Church with Your blessing —
                    shower the world with Your blessing —

                We pray for the pope, the priests,
                    the world, all hierarchy —
                    all in the Church —
                    all in the world —
                    all the souls in purgatory —

                Oh God help us to be holy
                Oh God help us to be humble
                Oh God help us to be pure
                Oh God help us to be obedient to Your will —
                Oh God help us in the midst of danger —

                Amen —

                Oh God comfort me in my
                    afflictions —
                    give me health oh God —
                    help me in all I do —
                Please give to me a holy death —

                Amen.

                Oh God as the dew falls
                    let my heart be filled
                    by You —

                Oh God wash me, saturate
                    me with Your grace —

                Let me be as You desire
                    me to be —

                Oh God — this life is short —
                    soon we die —
                    leaving our treasures behind —
                    Oh God help us to love while
                        we are here and spread
                        Your love to all we
                        touch — Alleluia

                Oh God help us to be
                    truthful —
                    help sinners to convert —
                    give us the grace to
                    persevere —

                Amen.

Isaiah 33: 13-16

You who are far away,
    listen to what I have done,
and you who are near, realise my strength.'
The sinners in Zion are panic-stricken
and fear seizes on the godless,
'Which of us can survive
    the devouring fire,
which of us survive everlasting burning?'
The one who acts uprightly
    and speaks honestly,
who scorns to get rich by extortion,
who rejects bribes out of hand,
who refuses to listen to plans
    involving bloodshed
and shuts his eyes
    rather than countenance crime:
such a man will live on the heights,
the craggy rocks will be his refuge,
he will be fed, he will not want for water.

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

 

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts
Inspiring Homilies covering partial year of Cycle A by Fr. Joe Robinson
$ 5.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr.

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
