Fifth Sunday of Easter—May 19, 2019

Dear Friends in Christ:

This Fifth Sunday of Easter we hear Jesus give us the new commandment: “love one another.” We are reminded that our love for others in our day to day lives is what keeps the great love of Jesus for His people visible in our world today. There is a story told that an American journalist, watching Mother Teresa caring for a man with gangrene, remarked to her: “I wouldn’t do that for a million dollars.” Mother Teresa replied: “Neither would I… but I do it for love of God.”
