Summary

On this Sixth Sunday of Easter, the liturgy emphasizes the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
In the First Reading (Acts 15:1–2, 22–29), the apostles resolve a significant conflict in the early Church. Some insisted that Gentile converts must follow the Jewish law, but after prayer and discernment, the apostles decide with the Holy Spirit that only essential practices should be required. This moment shows the Church relying on the Spirit to guide decisions and maintain unity.
The Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 67) is a joyful plea for God’s blessing upon all peoples. It highlights God’s desire for all nations to know salvation and rejoice under His just rule.
In the Second Reading (Revelation 21:10–14, 22–23), John describes the heavenly Jerusalem, radiant with God’s glory. There is no temple, sun, or moon because the Lord and the Lamb are its light. The vision reveals the Church’s ultimate destiny—eternal union with God in a city built on the foundation of the apostles.
The Gospel (John 14:23–29) captures Jesus’ promise that the Holy Spirit will be sent to teach and remind the disciples of all He has taught. He gives them His peace, urging them not to fear. His words bring both assurance and preparation for His return to the Father.
