“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If
you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed 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. My command is this: Love
each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay
down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no
longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business.
Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I
have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed
you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you
whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other. “
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

(kneel)
Prayer:
You loved us, Lord Jesus. You loved us until your death. You loved us as
friends. You loved us with an ultimate love. This is far greater than anything we
can feel or imagine! You commanded us to extend the same love to others,
without anything in reserve. Your love remains with us in the Eucharist, this love
we receive in every Communion when we eat your precious Body and drink
your sacred Blood. This is the great manifesto of your love for us.
Teach us to show greater love for you in the Holy Sacrifice. Make us receive you
in a greater disposition, prepared and in the state of grace. Everytime we sin
against you, help us to be sorry first for our iniquities before we accept you in
Communion. Make every moment a loving one with your divine presence in us.
And when the priest tells us, Ite, Missa Est, guide us as we become a living
Eucharist of love to our brothers and sisters, even to the point of offering our
lives for you and for them. Amen.

Reader: From the Gospel of John. (17, 6-19)
Jesus lifted his eyes toward heaven and prayed: “I have revealed you to those
whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and
they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given
me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted
them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you
sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have
given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And

glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but
they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by
the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we
are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that
name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so
that Scripture would be fulfilled.
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so
that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them
your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more
than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but
that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am
not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the
world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too
may be truly sanctified.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
Reflection…
(kneel)
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, you are the eternal High Priest. In your sacrifice in Calvary, you
gave a perfect sacrifice which is sufficient for every time and place. Through the
hands of the priest, you continuously give yourself to us, and at the same time
offer yourself to the Father.
We now pray and offer to you all your priests who tirelessly give us your Body
and Blood in every Mass we attend. Unworthy as they may be, keep them pure
and worthy in mind, word and deed for them to really celebrate the Sacrament of
Love in persona Christi Capitis. Deliver them from every possible temptation,
and may they and their ministry inspire others to live a holy and pure life as you
did here on Earth. Amen.
