Remain in my love.<br \/>If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father\u2019s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus, as I enter into prayer and read your words, I want to thank you for the gift of your word. In the Scriptures, I encounter you and come to know your love for me. Today, I am struck by your assurance that you want me to have your joy. Thank you for the hope this inspires in me. Lord, I believe in you; I hope in you; I love you. Deepen my faith, hope, and love so that I can grow in the joy you promise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Remain in My Love:<\/b>\u00a0Jesus just told us to abide in him, and he reiterated that message in today\u2019s passage by telling us to remain in him. He told us he remains in the Father\u2019s love by keeping his commandments and teaches us that we remain in his love by keeping his commandments. Unfortunately, we often see Christ\u2019s commandments as burdens or restrictions on our freedom. Jesus himself promised, \u201cTake my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.\u00a0For my yoke is easy, and my burden light\u201d (Mt 11:29-30). Not only is his yoke easy and his burden light; it is through his yoke and burden that we find joy.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Interior Stability:<\/b>\u00a0When we trust Jesus and remain in his love through obedience, our life develops an interior stability. We are \u201clike a wise man who built his house on rock.\u00a0The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.\u201d Jesus contrasted this with the \u201cfool who built his house on sand.\u00a0The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined\u201d (Mt 7:24-27). When our lives are built on the solid rock that is Christ, we find true joy and peace.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Complete Joy:<\/b> Jesus wants us to experience his joy and tells us that this is found as we live in union with him as we keep his commandments. We don\u2019t find true and complete joy in self-determination and self-reliance, but by recognizing our dependence on God as \u201cthe source of wisdom and freedom, of joy and confidence\u201d (CCC 301). But joy doesn\u2019t just happen; it takes work. Spiritual laziness can rob us of joy. The <i>Catechism <\/i>teaches, \u201cacedia or spiritual sloth goes so far as to refuse the joy that comes from God\u2026\u201d (CCC 2094). To live in joy, we can, \u201cthrough human effort,\u201d acquire the virtues that \u201cmake possible ease, self-mastery, and joy in leading a morally good life\u201d (CCC 1804) as well as overcoming those things that lead to acedia: \u201clax ascetical practice, decreasing vigilance, carelessness of heart\u201d (CCC 2733). How vigorously do we strive to grow in virtue? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b> Lord, I sometimes forget that true joy is rooted in you, not in circumstances. I forget that you are the rock upon which my whole life is meant to be built and where I find the security that allows me to experience deep joy. Lord, help me be grateful for all the blessings of my day and the little things that give me the experience of happiness, but also help me desire true joy that goes beyond circumstances. Keep me focused on you and secure in you. Strengthen my trust in you, so that no matter what happens, I find my joy as I remain in you and am faithful to your commandments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Resolution:<\/b> The <i>Catechism <\/i>calls Sunday \u201cthe day of joy\u201d (CCC 1193). Lord, today by your grace I will take time to plan my Sunday so that it is an experience of joy for my family and me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Janet McLaughlin and her husband, Chris, live on a mountain in rural northeastern Oregon.
