Lord Jesus, sent by the Father in love, increase our love for you and for the Father, that our hearts would be inclined and even eager to hold on to your words and fulfill them in the world and so enter into ever more into the Father’s joy, through you who lives and reigns in perfect union with the Father and Holy Spirit in glory forever. Amen.
‘Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.”‘ – John 14:23-24
