John 15:12–17
“This is my commandment, that you love one
another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down
one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.
I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what
the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known
to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I
chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so
that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you
these commands so that you may love one another."
Reflection
Jesus invites me to accept what he believes
about me. Can I believe about myself as he believes about me?
Do I believe that I am sent to bear fruit,
I am trusted, and I am loved?
