Our faith community and I, Fr. Francis are delighted that you and your family have chosen Saint Francis Xavier Parish as your place for worship. Saint Francis Xavier, S.J. (Society of Jesus) showed a great zeal for missionary work, and just as him we strive to follow on the footsteps of such a great preacher and evangelizer for the Malaysians.
We welcome you as Christ! Whether you are a member or a visitor, we pray that you find Christ among our brothers and sisters in the faith and trust that the word of God would stir your heart to actively listen and be prompted to action for the greater glory of God.

5th Sunday of Easter
The liturgy of the fifth Sunday of Easter tells us about Jesus as a source of authentic Life. The disciples of Jesus, united to Him, drink this Life from Him and witness to it in concrete gestures of love. This is how the new proposal of Life of God reaches the world and the lives of men.
The first reading, with the pretext of telling us about the insertion of Paul of Tarsus into the Christian community of Jerusalem, reminds us that the Christian experience is a path made in community: it is in dialogue and sharing with brothers that it is built. our faith. is born, grows and matures. The Christian community must be a house with open doors, where everyone has a place and where everyone can have, hand in hand with other brothers, an experience of encounter with the risen Jesus.
The second reading reminds us that the basis of authentic Christian life is “believing in Jesus” and loving our brothers and sisters “as He has commanded.” These are the “fruits” that God expects from all those who are united to Christ. If we witness the love of Jesus in concrete gestures, we are united to Jesus and the life of Jesus circulates in us.
In the Gospel, Jesus, in the context of farewell, presents himself to his disciples as “the true vine” and invites them to remain connected to Him to receive Life from Him. Jesus (the vine) and the disciples (the branches) will produce good fruit, the fruit that God expects. As long as they remain united to Jesus, the disciples will be true witnesses, among men, of the new Life of God.
