6^th Sunday of Easter 26^th May: Focus: The Holy Spirit will teach us & remind us of what Jesus taught. – Jesus assures us in the Gospel that he will dwell within us, & the Holy Spirit will teach us & remind us of what he taught. This is good news for us, because it means we are not making this Christian journey alone, two thousand years removed from a period in human time. We are today, like the early Church of Jerusalem, taught & guided by the Spirit. We need only to listen & have faith in his working in us.
