May 25, 2014 Sixth Sunday of Easter John 14 15:21
Jesus said to his disciples:
“If you love me, you will do as I command. Then I will ask the Father to send you the Holy Spirit who will help you and always be with you. The Spirit will show you what is true.
“The people of this world cannot accept the Spirit, because they don’t see or know him. But you know the Spirit, who is with you and will keep on living in you.
“I won’t leave you orphans. I will come back to you. In a little whole the people of this world won’t be able to see me, but you will see me. And because I live, you will live. Then you will know that I am one with the Father. You will know that you are one with me, and I am one with you.
“If you love me, you will do what I have said, and my Father will love you. I will also love you and show you what I am like.”
