Today’s Gospel is taken from the Last Supper Discourse. It is St. John who so beautifully brings to us the heart of Jesus. We especially see this at the Last Supper as Jesus expresses his deep and abiding love for his disciples. He calls them “friends.” Jesus says, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” On Good Friday Jesus did exactly that. Oh how much God loves us!
