Homily - 5th Sunday of Easter - 28th April 2024
The powerful opening prayer of Mass this Sunday teaches us these things -
1. We were made spiritually new in Holy Baptism.
Let us remember that Jesus said in Baptism we are born again. We have received a new spiritual life of God's Presence in us through Baptism.
2. That the Paschal Mystery [the death and resurrection experience of Jesus] has to constantly work in us as we realise that life is all about death and resurrection.
3. That as we reflect on our Holy Baptism and the power of Jesus' death and resurrection in us it will bear much fruit in our lives. We have to experience now the reality of eternal life with us and in us.
Today in our Gospel reading Jesus tells us this -
"Make your home in me, as I make mine in you. "
This teaching is that the Lord is in us and that we are in Him.
This is why Jesus says -
"I am the vine, you are the branches..."
Let us be absolutely clear that the Lord Himself promises us that He is in us. He also says that we have to live each day of our lives in Him as we are aware of our lives being caught up in him and with him.
We live happily with such a deep Union with the Lord.
