Remain in my love.

Today, Jesus calls on each of us, “Remain in my love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might be in you, and that your joy might be full. “(Jn 15: 10n).
Today it is obvious how Jesus calls us to remain in his love. Jesus already clearly indicates to the disciples his departure – through death, he goes to the Father. Jesus went to prepare the way for us. After all, he himself is the Way to the Father, but he is also the Way and the Life. So God’s truth is not a teaching but a person. Each individual will understand this truth to the extent that it can be captivated and transformed by it.
The reality of the joy that Jesus wants to pour into our hearts should be trust in his love. This trust encourages us to have here who laid his life on the cross, freed us from sin, and carried us into his light. Jesus wants to show us that joy is a gift that we feel alive in moments of fulfillment by his grace. Each of us must realize that we cannot live without God and His commands. Jesus wants us today to keep ourselves completely to him by keeping his commandments.

In her words, Mother Teresa calls us: “Joy must be a fundamental feature of our lives. We may have nothing to give, but we will always be able to give joy that flows from the heart that loves God. Joy is always contagious. Whenever you go to the sick, be full of joy. “

So we, if we follow Jesus’ commandments, experience joy, peace, and we can say, as St. Augustine: “I believe who I have believed.” Jesus wants to give each of us his love, but it is certainly clear that he wants us to fulfill his request – to keep what He has commanded us. Many times we also want to gain something, but without conditions. We will look at Jesus: he had to keep what God commanded him, he too was “subject” to God, and only he who remains in God will be filled with joy.

Every day we should ask ourselves, “Did I fulfill everything God wanted from me? Did I keep his commandments? “We need to ask the Lord for help every day to remember His commandments. Jesus Christ came down to heaven for us, to be imprisoned and sentenced to death, so that we may, they could be set free from sin. Wine Jesus wants a radical decision from us The apostles have also been faced with the question of decision many times; they were the ones who made the first serious decisions for the future of the Church, for no one has more love than the one who sent me, Only God is the one who is the greatest friend of us all, we need to trust and turn to him in our weaknesses, and only then will the awareness of his faithfulness grow in our hearts and this knowledge will change us.

A mother with a large family had to be photographed. She looked very festive. But the photographer told her, “Please smile.” Her mother tried. But the photographer keeps saying, “Don’t look stern and sad, as if your house is on fire.” And as she tried to look more pleasant, the photographer added: “Don’t think about your home worries, lie about the honor and well-being of being the mother of the family. Think of the reward God will give you. “
Click! And done. “Thank you!” When she saw the photo, she exclaimed, “But I’m a ton 10 years younger!” “Not at all, but you have a happy look you should always have because you have every reason to do so.” These words stuck in the mind of the brave lady. They were repeated every day — morning and evening as she worked and rested. days after that, her husband said, “It seems to me that you are younger every day. Are you taking anything, or have you found some” iron? ” The man was right – the cheerfulness of the mother is the source of true family well-being.

We can add that to follow Christ and remain in his love is: to be the happiest person. Only a person who experiences the love of Christ daily can bear witness to it.

Lord Jesus, fill our insides with your peace, and let us keep your commandments forever. Fill our hearts with love so that we can pass on your joy to all the surrounding people.
