May 23
Holy Gospel according to Saint John 15:12-17.

Jesus said to his disciples: 
This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. 
No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you. 
I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. 
This I command you: love one another."
