+St. Isidore Parish+

    Happy Mother’s Day! We wish God’s choicest blessings on all of the mothers, grandmothers, Godmothers and those who are like a mother to us of our parish. May God bless you for all of the wonderful things that you do. And in a special way we remember our mothers who now live the fullness of life with the Lord. We pray God reward you for your goodness as you pray for us in God’s presence.

    As we continue our celebration of Easter, we mark the Sixth Sunday of the season and continue our reading of the Farewell Discourse from John’s Gospel. We hear a very powerful and encouraging message. Situated at the Last Supper, as Jesus is taking leave of his disciples, he reassures them: “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” And another reassurance: “I will not leave you orphans.” “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth.” And a request: “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.” “I no longer call you slaves … I have called you friends. … It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you.”
