“Remain in My Love . . .” The Gospel this weekend continues to remind us of the importance of staying connected to Christ. He admonishes and invites us to remain always in His love. With this invitation, there is an attached promise. If we remain in His love the joy that He embodies will be ours. That simply means that true joy is found in Christ. If you want to be happy stay connected to the source of all joy and happiness. How do we stay connected? Jesus gives us the formula — keep the Commandments. Which ones? All! So today, examine how well you have lived the Commandments. How much effort have you put into remaining faithful to what God commands? Review the Ten Commandments and then do as Christ has asked. “Keep the Commandments as I have kept My Father’s commandments.” Do that and you will find joy!
