This is our last week of the Easter season. We are reminded again what the season is about, just like our Creed professes: The triumphal resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ after his crucifixion, death and descent into hell, whereupon he rose again from the dead and ascended into heaven.
Jesus is glorified in all this. Before he departs upon his journey to the cross (where the story is taken just as Judas departs to fetch the soldiers), he reiterates his new command: Love one another.
This is not easy. It involves genuine forgiveness and unconditional love. It is attainable through practice and sacrifice. To be his disciples, we are called to do this, to love one another as he has loved us.
