John 15: 9-11 - 'Remain in my love.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 1823 (in 'Charity') - Jesus makes charity the new commandment. By loving his own "to the end," he makes manifest the Father's love which he receives. By loving one another, the disciples imitate the love of Jesus which they themselves receive. Whence Jesus says: "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love." and again: "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."

0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Welcome back to our podcast where we really dig into the text of the Gospels from the |
0:19.8 | Roman Catholic Lectionary. So we're looking at the gospel reading |
0:22.6 | for today's Mass. And I want to encourage you, if you have been enjoying this podcast and you believe |
0:28.7 | that what we're doing on this podcast is a great way of studying the Bible and you've benefited from |
0:35.0 | it, then please keep sharing this podcast around. We need more |
0:39.1 | people to hear how much richness there is in the scriptures, and I know so many of you have |
0:44.2 | benefited from this already. So today's reading, we're in John chapter 15, continuing at the last |
0:51.1 | supper, verses 9 to 11. |
0:56.7 | Jesus said to his disciples, |
1:00.8 | As the father has loved me, so I have loved you. |
1:02.8 | Remain in my love. |
1:06.8 | If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love. |
1:11.7 | Just as I have kept my father's commandments and remain in his love. |
1:18.6 | I have told you this so that your own joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. |
1:27.2 | So the context here, it's towards the end of the Last Supper and Jesus is giving the farewell discourse and that runs over quite a few chapters. |
1:30.1 | He gives final instructions to his apostles before he leaves them. |
1:34.0 | The last thing Jesus has talked about at the start of John chapter 15 is about how he's the true vine and they are the branches. |
1:41.1 | And his basic message there was they need to remain or abide in him, |
1:46.3 | the apostles, if they are to continue to produce fruit after he's gone. Today, in our reading, |
1:53.8 | something that people often miss, but is really interesting when you look at it. In our text, |
1:58.3 | what happens is that at each step of what Jesus says here, |
2:01.9 | he explains exactly what he means. So he wants to make sure the apostles are really clear |
