Gospel Reflection– Fr Anthony Crook–Preparing to Leave (Fr Anthony says the weeks of Easter have been preparing us for this week and next week. Weeks 1-3 proclaim the risen one with Jesus revealing his new risen physical nature. Week 4, Good Shepherd Sunday when the disciples hear Jesus, come to know him, and follow him. Last week being led into the understanding of Jesus’ glory. Today’s gospel prepares us for the Ascension when the physical appearance of Jesus comes to an end. We will not be left alone but with his peace and that the Father will send an advocate who will lead us into a deeper relationship with the risen Son.)
