WEEKEND GOSPEL

GOSPEL Jn 15:9-17

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John

No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends.

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.

This is my commandment:

love one another, as I have loved you.

A man can have no greater love

than to lay down his life for his friends.

You are my friends, if you do what I command you,

I shall not call you servants any more,

because a servant does not know his 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; and then the Father will give you

anything you ask him in my name.

What I command you is to love one another.’

A beginning point for discussion of this week's Gospel with children

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us to love each other as he loves us.

We can love others by putting other people’s needs before our own.

We pray that we will show love for each other as Jesus loves us.
