Gospel: John 15:9-12

Jesus said to his disciples:

"As the Father loves me,
so I also love 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 joy may be in you
and your joy may be complete.

"This is my commandment:
love one another as I love you."
