In fact, it seems like a contradiction, doesn’t it? An oxymoron: Our loving God sees the death of His beloved children as a blessing. I hope I can explain this scriptural truth well enough to convince you that God has good reasons to see our deaths as a good and precious thing.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

5th Sunday Of Easterdone
1. FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Going home
Introduction
Few of us know what it’s like to be homeless. Without a home where we belong
and are loved, life loses most, if not all, of its meaning. Jesus assures us that
ultimately all of us have a home to got to, namely, the Father’s house. He even
says that he has gone ahead of us to prepare a place for us in that house. What
a tremendous reason for hope.
Introduction to the Readings
First Reading (Acts 6:1-7)
We see the growth of the first Christian community, and how they sorted out in a
peaceful manner the problem that inevitably arose.
Second Reading (1 Peter 2:4-9)
The Christian community is compared to a building, the foundation stone of
which is Christ.
Gospel (John 14:1-12)
This contains part of Jesus’ discourse at the last supper. He consoles his friends
who are saddened at the thought of his going. He tells them that he is going to
prepare a place for them.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
Life is a journey, and death a homecoming to the Father’s house. Let us pray that
we may always see our lives in this light. R. Lead us home, Lord.
Christians journey through life, not alone, but as God’s pilgrim people: that they
may always support and encourage one another along the way. We pray to you,
O Lord.
For all political leaders: that they may put their trust in God and not in mere
human resources. . We pray to you, O Lord.
For all those who have lost faith in others, in life, and in God. . We pray to you, O
Lord.
That amid the changing things of the world we may keep our hearts set on our
everlasting home where true joy exists. . We pray to you, O Lord.
For local needs.
2. Communion Reflection
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamt that he was walking
along a beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed the scenes of his life.
For each scene he noticed
not one but two sets of footprints in the sand.
He understood immediately that one belonged to him,
and the other to the Lord.
But then he noticed a curious thing.
At the lowest and saddest times in his life
there was only one set of footprints.
This bothered him, so he asked the Lord:
‘How come that during the most difficult times in my life,
the very times when I most needed you,
you left me on my own?’
Then the Lord replied:
‘My friend, during your trials and sufferings,
when you see only one set of footprints,
those footprints are mine.
It was then that I carried you’.
