5/10/20: 5th Sunday of Easter: On Mother’s Day, A Message on God’s Fatherhood

Today our Gospel is from the beginning of Jesus's long Last Supper discourse which takes up chapters 14-17 of John's Gospel. We might call this Jesus's "last words" to his disciples, when he shares with them from the depth of his heart. And so we have to take it seriously when so much of Jesus's focus in this final discourse is on God's Fatherhood. Today on this Mother's Day, we focus on the Fatherhood of God -- which every father and mother needs.
