Gospel
John 15:9-11
Remain in my love
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘As the Father has loved me,
so I have loved you.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love.
I have told you this
so that my own joy may be in you
and your joy be complete.’
Reflection
Remain in my love What did Christ mean?
Jesus says that when we are obedient to Him, His joy will remain in us. This joy is a complete joy that is full of love. To receive this joy, all Jesus asks of us, is that we obey Him just as He has obeyed the Father. ... Simply put, to abide in the love of Christ means to love Jesus and to be loved by Him.Do you find joy in the love of Christ?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus inflame my heart with love for you and your ways and with charity and compassion for my neighbor.
Amen
