Your joy might be complete.

“I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.” (JN 15: 11-12)

We can grow fully only when we become a sincere gift of self. We can’t be happy alone; we are created in God’s image and likeness, only when we live in a relationship and are related to others. “Complete joy” is when we are the free, creative, and joyful gift of self, when we look at what we can do for others, and gentle when we meet somebody’s limits.

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