May 18, 2025, Fifth Sunday of Easter, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Today, Fifth Sunday of Easter, at Mass’ Second Reading, at the end of the Book of Revelation (21:1-5a), John describes the Heavenly Jerusalem, where we will joyfully dwell with Christ Jesus forever, once the old order - “the former heaven and earth” - has passed away.

As John saw, the New Jerusalem, the new holy city, will  be “a new heaven and a new earth.”

In the main reading of today's Mass (John 13:31-33a, 34-35), Jesus gives us a new commandment: “love one another.”

“As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
This is how all will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.”

At the Last Supper, Jesus told the Eleven: “As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. All will know you are my disciples if you love one another.”

Christ Jesus loved us first, and his love makes it possible for us to love like him in turn.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
