DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage

Dear Friend in the Lord,

I Chose You”: In today’s Gospel, with deep affection Jesus says to His disciples, “You did not choose Me; no I chose you, and I commission you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last.”  It is a divine gift and great honour to be chosen by Jesus to be His disciple.  How can I be a faithful disciple of Jesus daily?

 Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

John 15:12-17

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you. No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. I shall no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know the master’s business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father.

‘You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; so that the Father will give you anything you ask him in my name. My command to you is to love one another.’
