Welcome to "What is the Message of the Lord" by Fr. Anthony Uche.  In this episode, we reflect on the readings for the seventh Sunday of Easter, offering deep insights into God's abiding presence, love, and mercy.

 

We dive into Acts of the Apostles 1:15-17, 20-26, Psalm 103, 1 John 4:11-16, and St. John's Gospel 17:11-19. The central theme revolves around the belief that our Lord Jesus ascends, but His Eucharistic presence never departs from us. He sets his sway in heaven but rules the earth, displaying His love through the works of His enduring presence.

Our reflections underscore the crucial need to acknowledge the Lord's undying love and mercy. We should remain humble, offer gratitude, and strive to live daily in God's presence. It's a call to change attitudes, seek wisdom to fulfil our roles within the body of Christ and share the fruits of the Lord's presence with others.

Philippians 4:11-16 motivates us to uphold love and peace in our communities and families. That love should be generous and sincere, forgiving when peace calls, and letting go when humility demands. It's reinforcement that we should shield our communities from evil and believe in our capacity to overcome as our help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.

Join us in this episode as we pray for wisdom, love, peace, and humility - to navigate life's challenges, knowing that our Lord Jesus has sway in heaven, but His kingdom rules the earth.
