Ascension of Our Lord-Sunday Wisdom

2 Comments / Sunday Wisdom /

“So they may be one, just as we are one.”  As I reflect on this line in today’s gospel, I am struck by how divide our world seems to be.  Not just the world in general, but even those who believe in Christ who do not seem to be united.  The Lord longs for us to be united in universal love so we can be filled with Joy.

“Consecrate them in the truth.”  He wants us to know in His dying and rising we are protected and called to a greater holiness.  So today, let us join Jesus in His prayer to bring healing and overcome division.  My you feel the loving arms of Jesus around you today.

Love God and Love One Another-Sunday Wisdom!

Sunday Wisdom /

Our gospel today is all about love and what a great day to honor our Mothers. I am very thankful for my mom and am blessed that she is still in my life. A mother’s love is pure and I know this because I too am blessed to be a mom.

I have two beautiful children, a daughter who is teaching first grade in Chicago and a son who just graduated from college with an Electrical Engineering Technology degree. I am very proud (in a good way) of both of them and am grateful to my Lord who has allowed me the privilege of being their mom. Happy Mother’s Day!
