Remaining in Christ’s Love

In this beautiful homily on John 15, Fr. Miguel reflects on Jesus’ heartfelt command: “Remain in my love.” We remain in His love by keeping His commandments — all Ten Commandments — and by loving one another as He has loved us: with self-sacrificial, generous love.Fr. Miguel explains how remaining in Christ’s love deepens our holiness, strengthens our union with God and others, renews our baptismal promises, and prepares us for eternal life. He draws wisdom from St. Francis, St. Clare, and Mother Angelica, who taught that being a saint means loving when not loved in return, being patient when frustrated, loving people as they are (not as we want them to be), and standing for truth even when alone.A timely and practical call in this month of May: stay rooted in Jesus’ love amid all the distractions and cares of the world.
