Saturday of the Seventh Week of Easter – Mass in the Morning

Today's Mass Readings

As the time draws near for Jesus to depart this world, St. Peter asks, “Lord, what about him?”, referring to the disciple whom Jesus loved.

Jesus replies rather harshly, “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me.”

When he hung upon the cross, Jesus entrusted his mother, Mary, to this beloved disciple. He will definitely take care of his needs.

However, St. Peter needs to trust that Jesus knows what is best for each of us. That trust will only grow if St. Peter follows Christ moment by moment.
