Almighty ever-living God,
constantly accomplish the Paschal Mystery within us,

may, under your protective care, bear much fruit

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

5th Sunday of Easter

Theme: Offering Due Glory Prompted by His Sacrificial Love
This Sunday, we are invited to glorify the Lord for restoring us to the imago Dei and enabling us to participate in His glory, obtained through the exaltation of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the Father was glorified and whom the Father glorified on the cross, a symbol of the most dreadful and humiliating form of capital punishment of His time. Thus, through Him, men and women were liberated, God’s unending love was bestowed, and all things were made new.
