- Readings: 1 Corinthians 2:12-16
-
- Gospel: John 16:7-11 (English & Lebanese):
Jesus gave his commandments to the disciples before he sent them
into the world. He owns the vineyard. He is the Lord, the teacher,
and the example. Jesus lived his commandments with his apostles
before he taught them. He left them with great teachings. His
new commandment, which completes all others, is the one of the
Crucified, the one of a lamb that was taken to be slaughtered
and he did not say a word. Jesus unveils for us the Lord's face:
God is love. As the Father loves me so I love you. Love one another
as I loved you. That is how the world knows that you are my disciples.
-
- The commandment that completes all others is one of LOVE,
because when we love we don't hold a grudge, we keep our promises,
we are never jealous, we don't steal, we never despite anyone.
When we love we die for those we love. This is the essence of
the law of all prophets; this is the provision that the Lord
gives to his disciples: "Go, love as I love you. Do not
be afraid because love makes fear disappear. The one who is in
fear is not complete in his love. We are unable to love as Jesus
loves because of our weak nature.
-
- We are unable to accept the logic of love because it disagrees
with our nature. The Spirit will come to heal our weakness. The
Spirit will create us anew every time we ask him to. He teaches
us how to learn from God's love to love him and all mankind.
The Spirit makes us obedient like true disciples of the Lord.
He says to Him: "Speak Lord, I am listening."
