Gospel: John
15:9-11
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 might be in you and your joy might be complete.”

Reflection:
What will
separate us from the love of Jesus? It’s none other than sin! Every time we sin
we create a space between us and Jesus. How about Jesus? Does He distance
Himself from us whenever we sin? Jesus is always on the move towards us always
offering us His unconditional love, regardless if we sin or not.
Such is the
love of Jesus for all of us. Always forbearing and patient it stretches until
eternity always ready to embrace us once again. But we must not also try to
test the limits of Jesus love for us. For example, we continue to sin because
at the back of our minds we know that we can go to Jesus anytime. And ask for
His forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
What if in
the process of committing sin we meet a tragic accident? Where will we end up?
Of course it’s no brainer that we will be in the fiery furnace of hell. That’s
why it’s very important for all of us to take advantage of this offer of Jesus
to remain in His love by repenting from all of our sins while we still have
time.
Do you always
try your very best to always remain in Jesus’ love? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
