In today’s Gospel we hear Jesus telling us that He will be sending the Holy Spirit to be with us, and the ideal to love one another comes up again. We begin our masses singing, “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” which speaks of this unending, perfect love of Christ as He is the ‘source of all compassion, love unbounded, love all pure.’
At the presentation of the gifts, we sing of how through Christ’s teachings, He has brought us life everlasting. We need to follow His commands; live as He has taught us; follow His words that will lead us to eternal life.
Our Communion song “Where Charity and Love Prevail” speaks more on the love theme that we’ve heard about these past two weeks. How do we love one another? Serve one another. Through charity, forgiving one another, and being at peace.
We conclude our mass by singing “With One Voice”. The message here sends out to serve one another, spreading the Gospel, touching the lives of those around us. Go out this week and “shine the light of Christ for all to see” as the song proclaims!
