This Sunday's Gospel - Fifth Sunday of Easter
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
I give you a new commandment: love one another.
When Judas had gone Jesus said:
‘Now has the Son of Man been glorified,
and in him God has been glorified.
If God has been glorified in him,
God will in turn glorify him in himself,
and will glorify him very soon.
My little children,
I shall not be with you much longer.
I give you a new commandment:
love one another;
just as I have loved you,
you also must love one another.
By this love you have for one another,
everyone will know that you are my disciples.’
A beginning point for discussion of this week's Gospel with children:
- Who are the people you love?
- How do they show you they love you?
- How did Jesus show us he loves us?
- What does he ask that we do in return?
- How can we show that we are his disciples this week?
