SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER (YEAR B)
INTRODUCTION:
We want to live and be loved by others. Young people fall in love with each other. A husband and wife make a covenant of love and promise each other to remain in this love. Love makes life beautiful. The good news that Christ gives us today in our celebration is the same: he loves us intensely and invites us to remain in his love. Chris is risen and he is with us. He is willing to share his love with us.
GOSPEL: MARK 16: 15-20
Jesus said to his disciples: “Go into the whole world
and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name, they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents with their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.
