Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Remain in My Love” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims to His disciples, “If you keep My Commandments, you will remain in My Love, and your Joy will be complete.” Ponder on, “Do we experience deepest ‘Joys’ when we are: reconciled with God in the Sacrament of Reconciliation; and living His Will through our creative fidelity and challenging sacrifices?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 15:9-11
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. 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.’
