Sixth Sunday of Easter
First Reading
Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48
25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.  26But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man." 34And Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality,  35but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.  44While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.  45And the believers from among the circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,  47"Can any one forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" 48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 98:1-4
1O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. 2The LORD has made known his victory, he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations. 3He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. 4Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! 
Second Reading
1 John 4:7-10
7Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.  8He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.  9In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.  10In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. 
Gospel
John 15:9-17
9As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.  10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.  11These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.  12"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  13Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  14You are my friends if you do what I command you.  15No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.  17This I command you, to love one another

I always wanted to shout my heart out. It's s been a while. I have so many issues having on my mind. My daughter is not listening to me but for a time she listens just a blink of time. I wanted to rest but my 2nd daughter needs me because she's only 8 months old. My husband also doesn't listen to any of what I say, he makes me feels like I'm stupid or that I talk nonsense. I need someone to talk to me, to listen to what I need to say. I'm also human I need love respect and trust and everything else more. I want to rest. I want to clear my mind. I want to be love. I want more of me. I want me.

Hey Tai here, Sometimes it's hard to find somebody to help. There's a lot of need out there in the world. The way I look at it, in the world with all the suffering, you've got to earn the right to drive a Rolls Royce by making sure you give back. I gave $500 to a homeless man and his dog once and he thanked me by saying  “there is a God.” Now some people would probably say he might use that money for drugs and alcohol, and there's some truth to that, but I don't know. At this point in my life I don't feel like it's my place to judge everything, figure everything out, and try to help. Some people use it the right way, some people abuse it, but for the people that do use it, at least people didn't hold back giving because of the people who do abuse it. You know what I mean? Plus with that guy, I kind of have a soft spot for dogs. He's got his dog, and hopefully he buys some dog food, vet bills. You know I feel like animals are a lot of times helples...

My favorite holiday is on Christmas Day worin I was in SOUTHWALES, UK. It’s like food is all over the place, gifts are everywhere, so abundant. I want to experience that again in my life right now with my family. As of now I am in the Philippines. I went to Southwales UK on December of 2009 til February of 2010. That was the most abundant experience I have had in my life. And that i didn’t think of anything thing none. I was enjoying everything, the place, the food, the event, and of course at that time i was with my mom and my sisters and my sisters children.
