Year B, 7th Sunday of Easter

In this episode, we discuss the readings for the seventh Sunday of Easter, Year B in the Lectionary cycle: Acts 1:15-17, 21-26; Psalm 1; 1 John 5:9-13; John 17:6-19.

We consider the apostles' selection of Matthias, the Psalmist's contrast between the deeply rooted tree and the chaff, John's words about eternal life, and Jesus' high priestly prayer.
