Sunday, May 6, 5:30 a.m., KPIX television Channel 5, CBS Bay Area It is the age of digital communication. The devices that receive and send messages are powerful and portable; we have them in our hands, our pockets, our cars, and our homes; the messaging is ceaseless and seductive, and the flow of in-formation (good and bad) is practically infinite. Young people especially seem to “live on their devices.” On this epi-sode of Mosaic, our guest expert is Samantha Yee, a young writer and editor, student and scholar, who is already a vet-eran professional, creating digital communications for Catholic groups. As she says, “If young people are living on the internet, that’s where we have to reach them.” Samantha discusses how she and associated networks of young Catholics live the faith and teach the faith online. Prior episodes of Mosaic are archived on the archdiocesan website, sfarch.org/mosaic-tv. Episcopal Ordination of Bishop-Designate Christian Tuesday, June 5, 11:00 a.m., St. Mary’s Cathedral, San Francisco Bishop-designate Robert F.

The archdiocese’s new auxiliary bishop is a San Francisco native and graduate of St. Ignatius College Pre, San Francisco. He entered the Dominican order in 1970 and was ordained a priest in 1976. The Mass will be livestreamed at www.sfarch.org.

Reflecting on the Word Fifth Sunday of Easter

The word “remain” fills today’s readings: remain on the vine, in Jesus, and allow his words to remain in us. One meaning of remain is to stay in the same place or with the same person or group. We stay on the vine by staying with Jesus and those who belong to him. In that way we invite his words to stay within us. In “understanding the word,” we learned that “to remain” entails an intimate, recipro-cal, and enduring relationship with Jesus. Our rela-tionship with him will bear the fruit of living his commandments, so others can see that we remain in him and he remains in us. Saul, the persecutor, had an encounter in which Jesus invited Saul to stay with him and Jesus to re-main in Saul. It wasn’t until they saw change in Saul that the early church moved from fearing him to trusting him. Barnabas was the witness who in-vited them to open their eyes. Saul’s words and ac-tions bore the fruit of his and Jesus’ new relation-ship. For Jesus’ words to remain in us, we need to make time to read, listen to, and reflect on them. Let them prune away whatever does not reflect Jesus’ way. When Jesus remains in us and we remain in him, our words and deeds bear his fruit. St. Francis de Sales taught that it’s not enough to carry the Lord on our tongue, speaking God’s praise; or in our hearts, sharing our love and affection for God. We must carry the Lord in our arms by good works. Without those works, the other two ways of carrying the Lord do not amount to much. Remain in Christ today. Stay with him. Show that his words remain in you. Carry him in your arms by your good works. For Prayerful Consideration & Discussion

How do you invite Jesus’ words to remain in you and make a difference?

Name the ways in which you carry the Lord with you by your good works.

Living and Praying with the Word

Jesus, you are the vine and we are the branches. Help me remain in you by taking time each day to deepen my relationship with you. Stay with me and empower me to live your commands and bear your fruit. - Living the Word
