6th Sunday of Easter

Holiness does not consist of a few heroic gestures, but of many small acts of daily love. Be holy by living out your commitment with joy.   Be holy by labouring with integrity and skill in the service of others,   Be holy by patiently teaching the little ones how to follow Jesus.   Be holy by working for the common good. Pope Francis
