John 15,9-11

May 19, 2022 (Thursday)
Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

John 15,9-11
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my
love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and
that your joy may be complete.”

Reflection
Whatever the Lord has given us, we are meant to share it to others. To remain in his love and to feel the real joy within
ourselves should do something beneficial to our neighbors. It tells us to always do good even if others cannot. Stay kind, even
if the world is not. It also taught us to listen to His commandments and invites us to pray for everyone that kindness will remain
to maintain peace. A writer named Gecille Elido said, “Because we are all exhausted inside and the only gift we can give to
others is kindness.” It is a reminder that sharing kindness to our neighbors may be simple or small if done with love, makes
everything better little by little. What are my concrete ways in sharing kindness to others?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “Zeal is the expression of faith in service to human need.” We as Lasallians, should remain in God’s love
especially when doing our mission to our brothers and sisters. We allow ourselves to make God’s love visible to our brothers
and sisters.

MISSION PRAYER 2021 Year of Missio Ad Gentes CBCP
God, our loving Father, You sent your Son into the world to proclaim the Good News of Salvation to all: to sinners, the poor,
oppressed, the sick, the abandoned and neglected. He gave His life on the Cross for us and rose again to new life to redeem
us and reconcile us with you. You sent Your Holy Spirit to the Apostles to continue the work of Your Son and to lead all to
salvation. We thank you, Father, for bringing us from darkness into light. Through Your loving plan, 500 years ago,
missionaries came to our land to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus, Your Son, to our ancestors that made us Your people and the
Church. The gift of faith has accompanied us through both darkness and lights, defeats and victories of our history as Your
people. Our faith has become for us true light that shines in the darkness. Renew in us the grace of your Spirit that impels us
to be witnesses of Jesus, Your Son, to a world broken by greed, violence, injustice, sickness and suffering. May our faith bring
us to unity as your children to care for and love one another. May the Holy Spirit empower us to be proclaimers of the Good
News to our brothers and sisters in Asia and to all nations. Give us the sincere desire to help others to come to faith in the
Lord Jesus to share in Your joy and life. May the Blessed Mother, the Star of Evangelization, accompany us and pray for us as
we live and share our faith with others. May our strong love and devotion to her as our Mahal na Ina form us to be true
disciples and witnesses of Jesus to all, always ready to be sent, and to be obedient to whatever Jesus asks of us. We ask this
through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
