In this week's edition of There's more in the Gospel than meets the eye, Jill
Bevilacqua and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the Sixth
Sunday of Easter. Listen:
GospelJn 14:23-29
Jesus said to his
disciples: “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father
will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever
does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but
that of the Father who sent me.
“I have told you this while I am with
you. The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that
I told you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not
as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled
or afraid. You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I will
come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am
going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now
I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may
believe.”
