May the 23rd.
Both readings today are very appropriate as we near the end of our return to hope.
Jesus before his passion, death, and resurrection, and Paul, before his departure from Ephesus, reminded their listeners that it was not the end of the story. Each delivered the message that their listeners were part of the story.
They were bearers of the message that God created each person for eternal life. Their life was to lead them to know God and to spend eternity in his presence and love.
As we live this week, this reminder should animate and motivate our thoughts and prayers.
Come Holy Spirit, renew my life.
