Friends of the Rosary,Today, Fifth Sunday of Easter, at Mass' Second Reading, at the end of the Book of Revelation (21:1-5a), John describes the Heavenly Jerusalem, where we will joyfully dwell with Christ Jesus forever, once the old order - “the former heaven and earth” - has passed away.As John saw, the New Jerusalem, the new holy city, will be “a new heaven and a new earth.”In the main reading of today's Mass (John 13:31-33a, 34-35), Jesus gives us a new commandment: “love one another.”“As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.This is how all will know that you are my disciples,if you have love for one another.”At the Last Supper, Jesus told the Eleven: “As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. All will know you are my disciples if you love one another.”Christ Jesus loved us first, and his love makes it possible for us to love like him in turn.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New York• May 18, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Associate Health Minister Casey Costello has directed Te Whatu Ora to say “women” instead of “pregnant people” in all communications. The government has opened consultation on the new relationships and sexuality education (RSE) draft framework. And last week, the divisive and controversial Treaty Principles Bill was voted down at second reading.

It's been called a "grubby little bill" and a "valuable" lesson by its opponents in parliament today. In the coming hours, it is expected the future of the controversial Treaty Principles Bill will be decided. MPs have been engaging in fiery debates during its second reading in Parliament. Political reporter Lillian Hanly spoke to Lisa Owen.
Act Leader David Seymour doesn't regret spearheading the Treaty Principles Bill. The widely unpopular bill was voted down by all but its own MPs at its second reading yesterday. MPs called it racist, divisive, ugly, grubby, and an assault on history and rights. Seymour told Mike Hosking he's standing up for equal human rights. He says the Crown has an obligation to uphold all people's rights, including Māori, and we are all equal before the law. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Treaty Principles Bill is dead, voted down by all parties except ACT - 11 to 112 - before a packed gallery. Fiery moments included Labour's Willie Jackson being kicked out for calling ACT leader David Seymour a liar. The Speaker reminded people multiple times not to clap, sing, or interject during speeches - in which the Bill was labelled 'embarrassing', 'grubby', and a 'stain on our country'. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper recapped a memorable day in the House. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Treaty Principles Bill will have its Second Reading at Parliament Thursday. All parties except the ACT party have said they will vote it down. Political reporter Lillian Hanly spoke to Corin Dann.

Friends, this Fourth Sunday of Lent gives us marvelous readings: the First Reading from the book of Joshua, the Second Reading from Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, and the Gospel reading, which is the magnificent parable of the prodigal son from Luke. The correspondences between these three readings I think are quite striking, and they have to do with the Eucharist and divinization.

What is the Climate and Nature Bill, and why does it matter? The Zero Hour campaign is here to tell us, as we dive into their efforts to secure widespread backing for the Climate and Nature Bill. The Bill, which had its Second Reading in Parliament on 24 January 2025, aims to strengthen the UK government's commitments to cut emissions, restore nature, and ensure public consultation on the road to net zero. Hosts Mark and Simon are joined by Simon Oldridge, Policy Advisor at Zero Hour to break down the key components of the Bill, and why it's crucial to tackling the climate emergency. Simon also sheds light on how Zero Hour managed to gain cross-party support for the Bill, and what individuals can do to help it get passed. We also hear from the Bill's sponsor: Liberal Democrat MP Roz Savage, on why she believes it's a vital step needed on climate action. And from Conservative MP Andrew Bowie, who shares his concerns about the Bill and why he remains a critic.

St. Paul writes "how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus" in the Second Reading. How can a man who never met Jesus know the affection and love of Jesus? He found it through other Christians who he met and learned from. We too are called to love with the affection of Jesus, so through us, others can come to know Christ.

The controversial assisted dying bill has passed its second reading in the House of Commons with a majority of 55 after just hours of debate. It now heads to committee stage for further scrutiny. What does the bill's passing at this stage mean for its likelihood of eventually becoming law? And will Labour's front bench unify behind the bill given the deep-seated opposition from figures such as Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood? James Heale discusses with Katy Balls and Michael Gove. Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Cindy Yu.
In this week's episode, we model what it looks like to pray Lectio Divina, which is a divine reading of Sacred Scripture. We begin by sharing the different ways we spend time in Sacred Scripture, how it has impacted our lives, and model how to pray Lectio Divina. We invite you to follow along and join us as we spend time reading and reflecting on John 15:5-8. Sacred Scripture is the voice of God and what He has said is alive forever and relevant to our lives in all situations. We encourage you to journey with us as we deepen our relationship with God through His word. Heather's One Thing - Franciscan University's Austria Study Abroad Program and Guadalupe Pilgrimage Sister Miriam's One Thing - FOCUS film Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story (trailer here) Michelle's One Thing - Praying for anyone affected by hurricane Helene Catholic Charities Other Resources Mentioned: Steps for Lectio Divina The Art and Practice of Lectio Divina Announcement(s): We are so excited to announce that we will have new Abiding Together shirts in our shop next week! Follow us on social media for all the latest updates! Journal Questions: When do I encounter the Scriptures throughout my day? Do I incorporate Lectio Divina into my prayer routine? What obstacles prevent me from entering into Lectio Divina? How can I begin to incorporate Lectio Divina more frequently into my prayer? Discussion Questions: How have you been nourished by the Word of God? Have you struggled to hear the voice of God in the past? When do you hear the voice of God in this season of your life? What stuck out to you during the Lectio Divina within the episode? Quote to Ponder: “It is especially necessary that listening to the word of God should become a life-giving encounter, in the ancient and ever valid tradition of lectio divina, which draws from the biblical text the living Word which questions, directs and shapes our lives.” (Saint Pope John Paul II, Novo Millennio Ineunte, 39) Scripture for Lectio: “I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit; because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and become my disciples.” (John 15:5-8) Sponsor - Emmaus Road Publishing: Introducing the Saints Around the World for Little Ones Collection from Emmaus Road Publishing!
