Reflection
•What does Jesus mean, “keep my word?”
•What unnecessary burdens do you place on yourself and upon others?
•How do you show your love for Jesus?
•What does “we will make our dwelling with him” mean to you?
The man who lives and acts according to the grace of Christ dwelling in him acts in that case as another Christ, as a son of God, and thus he prolongs in his own life the effects and the miracle of the Incarnation.1
