Love one another
as I love you

John 15:9-17

They were his close friends.
He had chosen them.
So, sad were they.
And sad
was he
that
he must
leave the earth.

Yet he loved them so much
he could not lose them from his life.
He would place his Spirit deep within them.

And within the rest of us.

Soul
of Jesus,
constant companion,
teacher of all good, remind us
what Jesus said and did, and who he is;
how he loves us and makes his home within us.
And the thing that he asks is that we love one another.
