Msgr. Charles Pope: Lessons of Love – A Homily for the 6th Sunday of Easter

By Msgr. Charles Pope - In the Gospel for today’s Mass, Jesus gives us three lessons on love meant to prepare us for the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. They also go a long way in describing the normal Christian life... Too many Christians see the Faith more as a set of rules to keep than as a love that transforms—if we accept it. Let’s take a look at the revolutionary life of love and grace that the Lord is offering us in three stages: the power of love, the person of love, and the proof of love.

To What Shall We Compare the Present Age? by Robert Royal

By Robert Royal, The Catholic Thing - When things look very bad, there’s a natural human temptation to call the situation unprecedented. The present age really does seem so. But it’s worth recalling one of Jesus’ sayings that may seem to refer to the past, but like everything about him speaks to us as well: “To what shall we compare the present generation?” (Mt. 11:16) In his time, he says, people neither rejoiced properly at good news nor mourned bad news.
