Bishop Richard's Reflection for the Fifth Sunday of Easter

Bishop Richard's Video Podcast for The Fifth Sunday of Easter

Dear brothers and sisters,From time to time, I am sure we all ask ourselves the questions: “What will be the measure of my life? - How will I be remembered? - Will I make a difference?” Today’s first reading tells us of the work of Paul and Barnabas, and the report they gave in Antioch of their journey and their preaching. We read of their results: many had come to know the good news, and the disciples had fresh heart in their following of the Lord. The Book of the Apocalypse speaks of the New Jerusalem. The old world has gone, there are no tears, all is peace and joy in the presence, for eternity, of God – the experience of love beyond our description. Perhaps we think these readings are about results – the results of preaching journeys, the result that is the Kingdom of God. We might feel that such attainments are beyond us, that we are ‘not up to standard.’ The answer to this difficulty lies in Jesus’ words to the Apostles, spoken in the Upper Room after Judas had left them. Jesus gives the Apostles the commandment to love one another, as He loves. This is what is demanded of us. If we concentrate our minds, hearts and lives on living with the love of Jesus Himself, we need have no fear. All else will follow. We do not need to worry about the ‘end result’ if we simply allow our lives to be grounded in the love of God, the promptings of the Holy Spirit – that we may mirror the love of Christ Himself at every moment. Knowing that every moment of our lives is lived in the Lord’s presence, that the smallest thing is done for Him – these are the ways to begin, and if we can be this open to the One who is all love, then our lives will be transformed in Christ. The results will not be ours – mine or yours – what we might want to call ‘results’ will be the things that the Lord will bring about in us. With every Blessing,

+ Richard
