Let us listen to Jesus’ Word TODAY in Jn 15: 5,12
-17
I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in meand I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you cando nothing."This is my commandment, that you love one another as Ihave loved you.No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life forone's friends. You are my friends if you do what I commandyou. I do not call you servants any longer, because theservant does not know what the master is doing; but I havecalled you friends, because I have made known to youeverything that I have heard from my Father.You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed youto go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father willgive you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving youthese commands so that you may love one another.

Let us listen again to Jesus’ Word in Mt 6: 7
-14
"When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as theGentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because oftheir many words.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you needbefore you ask him. Pray then in this way:Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdomcome. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, aswe also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to thetime of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you”
