Whoever denies the Son cannot have the Father either; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father too. Let what you heard in the beginning remain in you; as long as what you heard in the beginning remains in you, you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And the promise he made you himself is eternal life. So much have I written to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. But as for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; since the anointing he gave you teaches you everything, and since it is true, not false, remain in him just as he has taught you. Therefore remain in him now, children, so that when he appears we may be fearless, and not shrink from him in shame at his coming."
cMemoria = "Memorial of Saints Basil the Great (+379), bishop of Caesarea and Father of monasticism in the East, and of Gregory Nazianzus (+389), Doctor of the Church and Patriarch of Constantinople."
cOmelia = "The Apostle John reassures that the Spirit is 'true and does not lie.' Already in his farewell discourse to the disciples, Jesus had told them: "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you" (Jn 14:26). Remaining in the "anointing" therefore means remaining faithful to that Word that we have received from the beginning and that has begotten us to new life. Salvation does not primarily depend on the works one does, but on persevering in the Word that begot us and in the community in which we were begotten and cared for to grow. It is certainly a physical, concrete, existential, affective, involving abiding: we do not love each other without seeing each other, without meeting, without helping each other, without living together. Of course, it is not just a physical abiding. It must be an abiding informed by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus, made of listening to the Word of God and obeying it, of prayer and fraternity among all, of commitment to communicate the Gospel and of generous service for the growth of fraternity among all. Whoever remains in the community in a spiritual manner, that is, with mind, heart and body, in obedience to the Gospel, remains in God. And in this consists "eternal life," a life that does not end and that not even death can destroy."
