Friday May 7, 2021 - Fifth week of Paschal Time - I call you my friends, says the Lord, because all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 15, 12-17

Love of neighbor is the expression and the way of living the commandment. In other words, how could we love the invisible God, if you don't even love our neighbor, because those with whom we interact every day are the image of God. For Jesus, he made his disciples friends, not servants, for he had already revealed to them everything he had heard from his father. Jesus made them friends because they abide in his love and love as he does. I chose you, he said. Jesus chose his disciples from among the multitude. After the selection, he appointed them, that is to say that we cannot proclaim ourselves. Finally, he sent them to open up to others. So for us, disciples of Jesus, He did not call us to isolate ourselves, but to communicate.

And finally, Jesus designates so that what we undertake is a success. Dear Christians, in many different areas there are those who are appointed. The aim is to bring lasting results and improvements in management. This is where we have to be very careful not to take pride in our success because we are not successful on our own, but by the grace of Jesus. In short, God has made us successful in all things and the key to that success is fellowship with Jesus.
