Always look at Jesus Christ, especially instead of distractions: 6th Sunday in Easter Season

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

Easter 6^th Sunday Weekend

BWCA Knife Lake

·      Looking for camping sites

·      Rolling waves

·      Go forward

Jesus has said recently: “I love you” and “Know of my commandments”

·      We need to face Jesus

·      Like Jesus walking on the water, when Peter asked if he could walk on it too

·      He did so and almost immediately, he began to sank and said, “Save me!”

·      His problem was not seeing Jesus

Today, we often do the same thing, especially in our world

·      Imagine the different worldly optics that, like Peter we are distracted

·      Jesus taught us in John 15 (just after he called us not only his love, but his friendship):

o   "If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;
but because you do not belong to the world,
and I have chosen you out of the world,
the world hates you.”

To our graduates, you will be entering into the world, the wind, the waves and distractions

·      Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ!

·      Keep your faith, and when you start to sink seek his hand to pick you up and put your feet back on the ground again!
