Today’s gospel is taken from the 15th chapter of Saint John. It is Jesus’ parting words to His friends on the night before He died. Jesus is giving us a distillation of His three years of teaching, because He wants to be sure that we get it. Jesus reminds us that it all boils down to love. “What really matters in the sight of God is our love,” says Father Jerry in today’s video, “And we will not be judged on anything else.”

In celebration of today’s very special day for all mothers, living and deceased, Father shares a side-splitting conversation between a VERY smart mom and her extremely difficult child who just doesn’t want to go Mass. Her choice of words just may have you rolling in the pew on this beautiful Mother’s Day. May God bless you always.
