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

Hi, I often tell people that genius is not so much talent as it is attitude… You see, your attitude is the environment you decide to carry with you during the day. It proclaims to the world what you think of yourself and indicates the sort of person you have made up your mind to be. A genius attitude is deciding that you can do well at anything you make up your mind to do. When you do that, you give the project all you’ve got, and in doing so, attract the favorable attention of others. Attitude is one of the most commonly used and yet most misunderstood words in the English language. However, if you understand what attitude really is, you’ll know how to bring the best of you to the surface every day... To your success, Bob Proctor Chairman & Co-Founder Proctor Gallagher Institute

Hi ELLEN, One day, a little boy spent the afternoon building a blanket fort in his bedroom, but he had nobody to play with. His mother was busy tending to the baby, and his father wasn’t home from work yet. When his father came home, the little boy ran up to him, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked him to come sit in the blanket fort. The father was tired from a hard and stressful day at work, and said no in a rather grumpy way. “Son, I’ve been working hard to make money all day. Don’t bother me right now, okay? I’m too tired to play.” Very disappointed, the boy went back to his room and sat quietly in his fort. Suddenly, he had an idea. He ran back to his father who was dozing on the couch. He shook his father’s arm and asked, “Daddy, how much money do you make in one hour?” The father was startled out of his slumber and none too happy about it. “Didn’t I ask you not to bother me?” he snapped. But the boy persisted. “Daddy, I really need to know. How much do you ...
