Today’s Gospel comes immediately after the Gospel of the vine and the branches, in which !Jesus taught that he was the vine and that we, his disciples were the branches. In the vine and the branches our union with Jesus leads to fruitful service. Today’s gospel describes the kind of !service that we His disciples are called upon to offer to others, sacrificial love.!
We all have learned to know what genuine love is, not from lessons in words, but by being
loved ourselves.!Today's readings invite us to understand that the death and resurrection of Jesus
is an expression of God's love for us, and an invitation to enter into the love of Jesus and his !
Father, and to give it expression in our own lives.! True love expresses itself in action rather
than in words.! The Father's love was expressed in our midst when he ‘sent into the world his
only Son, so that we could have life in him’.! The words of Jesus in John's gospel remind us how
complete is the gift which he brings, as an expression of the love which he shares with the !
Father: ‘A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friend’.!
Genuine love is an unselfish gift.! It seeks the good of the beloved rather than its own benefit.! God's love is an outreach
of utter generosity; it comes before any response on our part.! (‘God loved us first’.)! And our response can give nothing
to God except the joy in the heart of the selfless giver.! As we contemplate the mystery of God's generosity, we are re-
minded that, in the end, love is the most precious of all gifts.! If it is true that true joy is the finding of what our hearts are
made for, then a love that is genuine brings a joy which is without compare.!
