Easter joy continues to flood our hearts, as we near the great feasts of Ascension and Pentecost. At Mass today, we see in our first reading Peter deferring to Our Lord as the author of the miracles Peter is allowed to perform. Peter marvels at the Holy Spirit filling the Gentile listeners, and the psalm repeats, “The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.” St. John tells us to love one another, that “everyone who loves is begotten by God.” The beloved apostle continues in his gospel narrative of Our Lord before his Passion, telling his disciples, “This I command you: love one another.”
