Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Loving Jesus Personally” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to His disciples, and to all of us. “Keep My Commandments and remain in My Love; that My Joy may be in you, and your joy be complete.” Ponder on, “Jesus invites us to love Him personally and be filled with His Joy; by keeping His Commandments and loving one another daily.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 15: 9-12,15-17
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. This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you.
‘I shall no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know the master’s business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father. You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; so that the Father will give you anything you ask him in my name. My command to you is to love one another.’
