St. Paul the Apostle

The readings for the Easter season harken to the first days of Christianity, allowing us to walk in the footsteps of the first Christians as they attempted to follow Christ as part of the young Church.

When God’s love is welcomed into our lives, Jesus will put this sign in your heart: “Home Sweet Home!” And you will not be “Home Alone”, the Blessed Trinity will be with you, as Jesus assured you: “We [Father and Son] will come to him and make our dwelling in him”; and the “Holy Spirit... [my] Father will send in my name.”

Jesus’ love has a defining distinctiveness: It’s a gift! It’s a precious gift that generates joy, peace, patience, faithfulness and gentleness; and it produces kindness, tenderness, compassion and understanding.
