Today, on the 6th Sunday of the Easter season, we celebrate the first Sunday of the month of May, the month of our Mother Mary. This weekend at the Sunday morning Mass, we celebrate our graduates who are marking an important milestone in the their lives. We give our graduates a special blessings as they continue their journey through life. The theme of our readings at Mass this weekend is love, an appropriate theme to celebrate in the midst of the Easter season as we celebrate our risen Lord in a special way. St Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican priest and theologian from the 13th century, stated that “to love God is something greater than to know him.” St Catherine of Siena, a Dominican tertiary and Italian mystic from the 14th century, stated that “everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.” We pray that the Lord continue to guide and lead our high school and college graduates. We pray that all of us feel God’s love for us every day on our journey of faith and that we pass on that love to others. Blessings to all of you. Father Lincoln.
