Theme: Christian joy tempered with trials
1st
Reading: Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 14: 21-27
Paul and Barnabas made
stop-overs in the cities where they had planted the church. Everywhere they
went, they encouraged the faithful to press on in spite of trials that may come
their way.
2nd
Reading: Revelation, Chapter 21: 1- 5a
This scripture is a message of
hope to all people. God, our Creator, at the end of time, will usher us into a
new heavenly home, where we shall no longer experience uncertainties, doubts or
sorrows.
Gospel
Reading: John, Chapter 13: 31-33a, 34-35
Jesus is looking forward to
his glorification, a time during which he will not be physically present with
us. He commands us, his followers, to preserve the distinction between us and
others, by following his own example of love for one another.
