In this week’s Gospel, Jesus did not promise His disciples an easy life, but He does promise they will not be alone. He gives the Holy Spirit, who remains with us and within us. God’s presence is not distant or occasional, but close and constant, guiding us in our everyday moments.

We may not always feel it, but we are not alone. God is already here.

This Mother’s Day, we give thanks to God for the gift of mothers, both biological and spiritual, who nurture, guide, and reflect His love in our lives.

We are grateful for all the ways they help shape our faith and walk with us in God’s ways.

Could you help share the faith with the next generation?

St. John’s Faith Formation program is looking for teachers and mentors to serve our children and youth in the coming year. You do not need to have all the answers, just a willing heart, a desire to help, and a commitment to showing up.

Materials, support, and guidance are provided. And along the way, you may find your own faith growing too!

If you feel called to help, we would love to hear from you. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/Wvmg39J4pYBZqAra7.

Many of us wish God felt clearer, closer, and easier to understand. Philip asks for what we often want too: “Show us the Father.” Jesus answers by pointing to Himself.

If we want to know what God is like, we look to Jesus. It is His mercy, His patience, His love, and His sacrifice. God is not distant. He has made Himself known to us in Christ.
