Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Juan 15:9-11)
Kon ano ang paghigugma sang Amay sa akon pareho man sina ang akon paghigugma sa inyo. Pabilin kamo sa akon gugma.
Kon ginatuman ninyo ang akon mga sugo, padayon ang akon paghigugma sa inyo. Pareho man ini sa akon nga nagatuman sang mga sugo sang akon Amay, gani padayon man ang iya paghigugma sa akon.
"Ginasugid ko ini sa inyo agod malipay man kamo pareho sa akon, kag mangin bug-os gid ang inyo kalipay.
"Lord Jesus, may I abound in hope, joy, and love. Inflame my heart with love for you and your ways and with charity and compassion for my neighbor. May there be nothing in my life which keeps me from your love."

Reflection of the Daily Gospel:
Do you know the love that produces immeasurable joy? Jesus speaks of the love which the Father and he have for those who belong to him. We can never outgive God in love, because he has loved us without measure. Our love for him is a response to his exceeding mercy and kindness towards us. Paul the Apostle tells us that we can abound in joy and hope because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us (Romans 5:5). In God's love we find the fulness of grace, life, peace, and joy. Jesus gives his disciples a new commandment – a new way of love. We are to love others as Jesus has loved us. What is the essence of this new commandment? True love is sacrificial. It gives all to the beloved. And there is no greater proof in love than the sacrifice of one's life for the sake of another. Jesus proved his love for his disciples by giving his life for them, even to death on the cross. We prove our love for God and for one another when we embrace the way of the cross. What is the cross in my life? When my will crosses with God's will, then God's will must be done. Do you know the joy and contentment of a life fully surrendered to God and consumed with his love?
