Commentary on John 15:9-11:

Jesus continues speaking to his disciples at the Last Supper. After giving them the parable of the vine he now goes on to give its real meaning: the Father, the Son and his followers are all to be united in love. As the Father pours out his love on the Son, so the Son pours out his love on his disciples. They, in turn, are to pour out the same love on their brothers and sisters everywhere.

That is how we keep the “commandments” of Jesus; all his commandments can be summarized in that one word ‘love’ (agape, ’agaph).

As I heard someone once describe it, the love of Jesus is like electric current. If the current does not pass through you, it cannot enter into you. Similarly, if the love of Jesus does not pour through us to others, it is a sign that that love is not really in us. The love of God has to be recognised, responded to and passed on. It is not just a ‘given’.

And the fruit of that love is joy, the same joy that Jesus himself experiences. The normal situation of the Christian disciples should be joy and consolation. After all, as has been said, “a sad saint is a sad kind of saint.” It is a contradiction in terms. Some Christians are incredibly serious about their faith. One wonders if they have yet experienced the love of Jesus. If they did, it would be joyfully flowing out to others.

A Note from the Altar Society

Several persons have not received recognition on our Church Birthday List which appears in the bulletin.

We apologize! Don’t be overlooked ~ Put your name in the book!

Your permission is needed, so please provide us with your birthday or

anniversary information in the binder at the back of the church if you would like to be included. We would love to

honor you on your special day.

Today, May 6, there will be a

second collection to benefit Catholic

Charities of Oregon. Their theme this year is “What Love Feels Like.” They

believe love feels like finding hope in a place of hopelessness, housing the homeless, reuniting families and

navigating financial or personal stress. Together, we can respond and care for

Oregonians facing a crisis. Thank you for your generosity.
