MAY 2 - THE GOSPEL
breski1
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 15,9-11.
Jesus said to his disciples: "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete."

O my love, God of my life!
What am I, O my God, thou Love of my heart? What mournful unlikeness to thee! I am but an almost imperceptible drop, and thou art the great and shoreless ocean of ineffable and most tender love.
O love, Love, open to me thy pitying heart. Let the water floods of thy fatherly goodness overwhelm me; break uo the fountains of the great deep of thine infinite goodness, and let it swallow me up, that I may be absorbed and lost in the ocean of thine infinite love.
Thy love is impetuous as a mighty flood; may I sink and disappear beneath its waters, even as a feeble spark is lost in the immensity of the sea.
