Fifth Sunday of Easter May 19, 2019
As I Have Loved You
In today’s Gospel (John 13:31-33a, 34-35), we are taken back to the Last Supper. Judas
has been dismissed to pursue his heinous mission of betrayal. Jesus is instructing the rest of His
disciples as to what is about to occur. He explains His upcoming Crucifixion, Death and Resur-
rection saying, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him ... My children I
will be with you only a little while longer.” Jesus is getting us ready; He is preparing to leave
us the Church.
Then Jesus commands His disciples, “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you
also should love one another.” This is the legacy of love that Jesus is giving us. He continues, “This is how all
will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Love has conveyed many different meanings throughout history. A significant portion of the Bible was
written in Greek; the Greek language contains no less than six different words for love, each expressing a distinct
type of love. Three of these words are used in the New Testament: storge, philia and agape.
Storge (pronounced: STOR-jay) describes family love, the affectionate bond that develops naturally be-
tween parents and children, and brothers and sisters. Philia (pronounced: FILL-ee-uh) is the type of intimate love
in the Bible that most Christians practice toward each other. This term describes the powerful emotional bond
seen in deep friendships. Philia is the most general type of love in Scripture, encompassing love for fellow hu-
mans, care, respect, and compassion for people in need. Jesus said philia would be an identifier of His followers:
“By this everyone will know you are my disciples if you love one another.”
The greatest example of love is Jesus Himself. Agape (pronounced uh-GAH-pay) defines God’s immeas-
urable, incomparable love for humankind. Agape love is perfect, unconditional, sacrificial and pure. It is love
without reservation. Jesus demonstrated this kind of divine love to His Father and to all humanity in the way He
lived and died.
To understand the teaching of Christ, we must recognize that love underlies each and every rule from
God. God so loved the world that He created all things and said it was good. Then He created humans and said
this is very good, because He knew that we were the only ones of His creation to whom He gave the capability of
love.
Love is in the here and now; it is not something that has happened only in the past or will be only in the
future. It is the present. We were created by the love of God. We were saved through the love of God. Love never
dies. It will carry us back to the Father, which is our ultimate goal. This is what sustains us: the love Jesus has for
us, the love we have for Jesus, and the love we have for one another.
“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.” This will be the identi-
fying mark of all Christians, their self-sacrificing love for each other.

Adoration
"In our self-centered culture and classic American
emphasis on work, we often feel we have to
accomplish something during our times of prayer
before the Blessed Sacrament. We rate our experience
by how 'good' our prayer was, how heartfelt our
devotion was, or how focused we could remain. Yet
prayer and contemplation are fundamentally God's
work, in which we are invited to participate. We need
only to give Him the opening, and He will do the rest.
By coming to adoration, we are handing Him the keys
to our hearts, allowing the rays of His love and grace to
bathe our souls in the light of His Presence, as the rays
of the sun bathe our bodies in light. If we can take the
time to pull away from the busyness and distractions of
life and just sit at His feet, He will lead us."
-Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, p. 33

ing. Walk with Christ from Gethsemane to Calvary
along the Way of the Cross, learn of their true disciple-
ship and how Jesus reveals his identity in authoritative
words and deeds. For men, we all need to see this and

with authority. We will serve a light breakfast. For
