I have said these things to you so that my joy may be yours,
and your joy will be made full. 

This is my command that you love one another, as I have loved you.  

No one has greater love than this, that someone lays down his life for their friends. 

You are my friends if you do what I command you. 

I call you slaves no longer, because the slave does not understand what their master is doing. 

I have called you friends, because everything which I have heard from the Father I have made known to you. 

You have not chosen me but I have chosen you, and I have appointed you
that you should go and bear fruit
and that your fruit will ‘stay’,
so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

These things I command you: to love one another. 

Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen

St Anselm
