Peace to everyone! Let us show our love for the Lord... May 25, 2014: Sixth Sunday of Easter Gospel: JOHN 14:15-21 Jesus said to his disciples: 15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

But you know him, because he remains with you, and will be in you. Q: Sino ang hihilingin Niya? Kilala ba ang Espiritu ng mundo? Bakit? 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. Q: Ano ang pangako ni Jesus? 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. Q: Sino ang hindi na makakakita kay Jesus? Bakit naman makikita pa din Siya ng mga alagad? 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. Q: Ano ang mapapagtanto ng mga alagad? 21 Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” Q: Sino daw muli ang nagmamahal kay Jesus? Ano naman ang bunga ng pagmamahal na ito?

Q: Ano ang ginawa ng mga tao doon? Bakit sila nagkakaisang nakinig? 7 For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice, came out of many possessed people, and many paralyzed or crippled people were cured. Q: Anong mga signs ang nagawa ni Philip? 8 There was great joy in that city. Q: Ano ang naging pakiramdam sa lungsod? 14 Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, Q: Sino ang nakabalita ng mga pangyayari si Samaria? Sino ang pinapunta nila? 15 who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, Q: Ano ang ginawa ni Peter and John? 16 for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, Q: Ano ang payo ni Peter? Saan dapat laging handa? 16 but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame. Q: Anong mga katangian ang dapat isinasabuhay? Bakit? 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that be the will of God, than for doing evil. Q: Ano ang mas mabuti? 18 For Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous, that he might lead you to God. Put to death in the flesh, he was brought to life in the Spirit. Q: Ano ang dinanas ni Jesus Christ? Bakit Niya dinanas ito? Ano naman ang nangyari sa Kanya? Key points/summary: sanctify Christ as Lord in hearts; ready to explain reason for hope; gentleness, reverence, clear conscience; suffer for doing good like Christ; lead to God; life in the Spirit Connection: The readings tell us how to show our love for Jesus Christ. In the Gospel, true love is expressed in keeping the commandments while in the 1st reading, Philip showed his love by his obedience when sent on a mission to Samaria. During those times, Samaria and Jerusalem were not at peace because the Jews regarded the Samaritans as unpure people. Philip succeeded because of the presence of Jesus with the Holy Spirit in him. Acceptance by the Samaritans of the Word is another way of loving Christ. In the 2nd reading, loving Christ means sanctifying Him in one’s heart thereby having hope and ready explanation to others about Him. One’s life in the Spirit is revealed in how one conducts himself. If we love Him, the Spirit of Truth will dwell in us as we become one with the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. This oneness with God will give us a life with great joy, power to bring others to God, and overcome suffering when doing good. Hibla: Live in the love of Jesus Christ. And every good thing will follow. Application: Do we love Jesus Christ? Do others see and feel that love? Is our joy and hope contagious? Responsorial Psalm: P S 66:1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 16, 20 Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. Hibla + resp Psalm: Live in the love of Christ and all the earth will cry out to God with joy.
