may 2025 SUPREME CHAPLAIN'S MONTHLY CHALLENGE
June 2025 Supreme Chaplain's Monthly Challenge
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always.” (Gospel for June 8, Jn 14:15-16)
Last month, we reflected on how Jesus probed Peter three times with the question “Do you love me?” Here we have an answer to what it means to truly love Jesus — by keeping his commandments, as expressed in Scripture and in the teachings of the Church. The monthly challenge for March underscored how our faith bears fruit in what we do. Let us remember that to keep the commandments for love of Christ is to allow the Holy Spirit to bear good fruits in our lives.
Challenge by Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William E. Lori:
This month, I challenge you to use the Catholic Information Service® resource A Guide to Confession, which is organized around the Ten Commandments, to examine your conscience and then go to confession.
Questions for Reflection:
What is your response to Jesus’ question, “Do you love me?” Do you show your love for Christ in how you live? In what ways do you need to become more attentive to the commandments and the teachings of the Church?
