Gospel Reflection 2019/2020

6TH SUNDAY OF EASTER

17 May 2020

[John 14: 15-21]

Very soon, we will be celebrating the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus (21 May 2020, coming Thursday) and Pentecost (31 May 2020).

In today’s Gospel, Jesus foretold His returning to the Father and that the Father is sending us another Advocate, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. But no, this does not mean Jesus has “abandoned” us solely to the Holy Spirit!

Jesus has assured us that,

“The world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me…”

and

“I am in my Father and you in Me and I in you.”

Only through the eyes of faith, can we see Jesus’ presence in our midst.

Let our prayer be:

“Open our eyes, Lord,

we want to see Jesus…”
