TESTAME T JEZUSA W dzisiejszej Ewangelii, Jezus żegna się ze swoimi uczniami. W perspektywie Apostołów zgromadzonych wraz z Mistrzem w Wieczerniku, najważniejsze było to, że byli z Nim, zawsze z Nim. Niestety miała nadejść chwila Jego odejścia i z tym musieli się liczyć. Wróci kiedyś i zabierze ich ze sobą, ale przedtem pójdzie przygotować im miejsce w domu Ojca. Zapowiada swe odejście tam, dokąd oni pójść jeszcze nie mogą. Dzieci, jeszcze krótko jestem z wami. Będziecie mnie szukać, ale ( ) dokąd Ja idę, wy pójść nie możecie. Żegnając się w ten sposób ze swymi uczniami, pozostawia im - a przez nich i nam, późniejszym swoim uczniom ostatnie polecenie, ostatnią wolę przykazanie miłości! O miłości tyle ich ciągle pouczał. Nie tylko słowem, ale czynem, przykładem całego życia. Uświadamiali sobie zatem, że dla Pana jest to sprawa kluczowa. Wraca Jezus do niej raz jeszcze w Wieczerniku w ostatnią godzinę pożegnalnej z nimi rozmowy przed męką w Ogrójcu i na Kalwarii. Mówi o miłości, kładąc nacisk na jej pielęgnowanie we wzajemnych braterskich stosunkach: Daje wam przykazanie nowe, abyście się wzajemnie miłowali tak, jak Ja was umiłowałem; żebyście i wy tak się miłowali wzajemnie. Po tym wszyscy poznają, żeście uczniami moimi, jeżeli będziecie się wzajemnie miłowali. To Chrystusowe nowe przykazanie miłości leży u podstaw doktryny moralnej Kościoła. Miłość bowiem w swych dziełach przetrwa wszystko, nawet śmierć. To dzięki miłości powstanie wszystko nowe, nowe niebieskie Jeruzalem. Wzywa nas Jezus, abyśmy się zdecydowanie odcięli od wszystkiego, co godzi w miłość, co ją niszczy. Miłować prawdziwie bliźnich, to znaczy czynić ofiarę z siebie samego i z tego co się posiada. By dokonywać czynów ofiarnych na rzecz drugiego, trzeba wyrobić sobie w duszy głęboko życzliwe ku niemu nastawienie. Warto się o taką życzliwą postawę modlić.
