Ps 145:10-11, 12-13ab, 21 Gospel Reflection Based on John 14:1-12
Jn 14:27-31a The readings for the last few Sundays have been about the Resurrection, but
Wednesday, May 13 today’s Gospel takes us back in time to an event in Jesus’ life before his Passion.
Easter Weekday Jesus tells his disciples that he is going to prepare a place for them in his Father’s
Feast of Our Lady of Fatima house. He promises that where he is going, his disciples will be able to follow.
Acts 15:1-6 Thomas, who will later doubt the disciples’ reports that they have seen the Risen
Ps 122:1-2, 3-4ab, 4cd-5 Lord, contradicts Jesus by saying that the disciples don’t know where Jesus is going
Jn 15:1-8 or how to get there. Jesus explains that he himself is the way, the truth, and the life.
In knowing and loving Jesus, the disciples now love God the Father.
Thursday, May 14
Easter Weekday Philip then makes a request that challenges Jesus’ words. Philip wants Jesus to
Feast of St. Matthias, Apostle show the Father to the disciples. Recall that Jesus has just told his disciples, “If you
Acts 1:15-17, 20-26 know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him
Ps 113:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and have seen him.” As a good teacher, Jesus responds to Philip by repeating and
Jn 15:9-17 elaborating on what he has just told the disciples: they have seen and known Jesus,
so they have seen and known the Father. Then Jesus offers another reassurance
Friday, May 15 about his departure: because of faith in God and in Jesus, the disciples will do the
Easter Weekday work that Jesus has done and more.
Acts 15:22-31
Ps 57:8-9, 10 and 12 The connection between Jesus and his Father, between Jesus’ work and the work
Jn 15:12-17 of the Father, is made clear in today’s Gospel. Jesus is in the Father, and God the
Father is in Jesus. As God spoke his name to Moses, “I am,” so too Jesus speaks his
Saturday, May 16 name to his disciples: “I am the way and the truth and the life.”
Easter Weekday
The revelation of the Trinity is completed in the passage that follows today’s
Acts 16:1-10
reading, and it is the Gospel for next Sunday. Because Jesus goes away, the Father
Ps 100:1b-2, 3, 5
will send in Jesus’ name the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who will continue the work
Jn 15:18-21
of the Father and of Jesus.

1917, three Portuguese children–

OT
Francisco and Jacinta Marto and

B L E S SI

HERS
their cousin Lucia dos Santos–
received apparitions of Our Lady
at Cova da Iria near Fatima, a city
110 miles north of Lisbon. Mary
asked the children to pray the
rosary for world peace, for the end
of World War I, for sinners, and
for the conversion of Russia. Mary
gave the children three secrets.
Following the deaths of Francisco
and Jacinta in 1919 and 1920
respectively, Lucia revealed the Photo by Alex Seinet on Unsplash

first secret in 1927. It concerned

devotion to the Immaculate Heart
of Mary. The second secret was a
vision of hell. When Lucia grew up
she became a Carmelite nun and
died in 2005 at the age of 97. Pope
John Paul II directed the Holy
See’s Secretary of State to reveal
the third secret in 2000; it spoke of
a “bishop in white” who was shot
by a group of soldiers who fired
bullets and arrows into him. Many
people linked this vision to the
assassination attempt against Pope
John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square
on May 13, 1981. The feast of Our
Lady of Fatima was approved by
the local bishop in 1930; it was
added to the Church’s worldwide
calendar in 2002.
Prayer to St. Mary,
Blessed Virgin
Dear Blessed Virgin Mary,
I humbly ask for your powerful prayers
for God’s guidance in raising my
children. By your example, I strive
to be a good mother and teach my
children right from wrong. I ask your
Son for patience, wisdom, strength and
direction in all decisions I make for
my children. Sweet Mary, I need your
prayers this day. Amen.
