Working with the Word
Seventh Sunday of Easter A
June 5, 2011

Reading I: Acts 1:12-14
Responsorial Psalm: 27:1, 4, 7-8
Reading II: 1 Peter 4:13-16
Gospel: John 17:1-11a

Focusing the Gospel

Key words and phrases: give, glory, ones you have given me

To the point: The gospel is about mutual giving between Jesus and the Father, and our being called into the same life of self-giving. We are to give ourselves to God and one another in live and service. In this is God’s glory and ours.

Connecting the Gospel

to the second reading: This Sunday we are reminded that glory comes to us only through our sharing “in the sufferings of Christ.”

to experience: Tired of always reported bad news when a national news center asked viewers to share stories of good news, reports of deeds of extraordinary self-giving to which the gospel calls us is more abundant and evident than we sometimes think. God’s glory abounds.
