The Legacy of Love: A meditation on the Gospel for the Fifth Week of Easter

The Legacy of Love – A Meditation on the Gospel for the 5th Week of Easter � Archdiocese of WashingtonPOPE: The title of this sermon uses the word Legacy, which refers to something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor.

Perhaps the most accessible image of this is money. If I receive 100 million dollars from a dying relative I can tap into those funds and start living differently. My bill now, that seem overwhelming, can be paid off the mere interest of my finds, and I can start enjoying things I thought I could never afford in the past. In other words, a legacy can utterly change the way I live, and open new possibilities.
