3rd SUNDAY OF EASTER
Jesus is present to us at all times
through the power of the Holy Spirit
After his Resurrection Jesus appeared to his disciples to encourage them in the mission he gave them. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus continues to be present to us at all times in every move we make, every breath we take, and in every person we meet. This is our encouragement as we take up the mission Jesus left his church. |
