Homily for the 8 o’clock Mass, Easter 7B, Sunday 12 May 2024, on John 17:11-16
On this last Sunday of Eastertide before Pentecost, we reach the climax of the Last Discourse of Jesus, given in St. John’s Gospel. This is the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus: Chapter 17. This year we read the central section of this prayer, which is concerned above all with the 11 disciples sitting there with Jesus at the Last Supper.

Homily for Easter 6B, Sunday 5 May 2024: John 15:9-17
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love (15:9)
We are in the central Chapter of the Last Discourse of Jesus, as recorded by St. John. Here we find ourselves at the heart of the teaching of Jesus, of his life, of his mission. In these sublime words, so full of consolation for us, Jesus as it were opens for us a window into his own heart, and into the heart of God.
