Reflection on the WORD
God’s Commandments: In today’s Gospel Jesus says, “If you keep My Commandments, you will remain in My Love.” Ponder on, “Our love for Jesus must be shown through deeds of love, justice, mercy, compassion, respect and preserve the dignity of human lives. Am I living these Commandments?”

John 15:9-11
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.’
