May 14, 2017 5th Sunday of Easter “Have I been with you for
so long a time and you still do not know me,
Philip?” —John 14:9
We are reminded today that spreading the word about Christ did not go smoothly in the early church. Understanding and accepting Jesus was a slow and often unsuccessful
process. It may seem different now, but if we consider our own questions and struggles with faith,
we realize that our commitment is not formed overnight. It is often subject to life circumstances that challenge our faith. There is still work to be done in
spreading the good news. If we want to contribute to the effort, we might begin with ourselves.
Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions for May Christians in Africa
That Christians in Africa, in imitation of the Merciful Jesus, may give prophetic witness to reconciliation,
justice, and peace.
