Love one another

“It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you:  love one another.” (JN 15: 16-17) 

There is no better fruit we can bear, like “love one another.” This is the only mission of Our Lord—to teach us how much we are loved and how much we can love one another. This is the reason we were created, this is the reason we live in our vocation, this is the reason we are parents, and this is the reason we are related to others. This commandment is the summary of all commandments: “love one another.” 

“I chose you from the world, to go and bear fruit that will last, says the Lord.” (Gospel Acclamation)
