SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER B Lectionary #56
In the readings, we reflect on what authentic love can mean. For the early Christians, it meant reaching out to the Gentiles. What barriers do we put in the way of Christ’s love in our time?
Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48. After his vision of the meal on the rooftop, Peter is shown reaching out to Cornelius and his family because “God shows no partiality.”
Psalm of the Day: Ps (97) 98
God is enthroned not only as the ruler of Israel but as sovereign over the whole world, for “all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God.”

1 John 4:7-10. We know what it means to love because God has first loved us and sent his Son into the world to give us life.
John 15:9-17. If you want to show your love for me, Jesus says, then love one another.
