Prayers & Readings for a Commemorative Event

John 15: 9-14

I love you just as the Father loves me: remain in my love.
If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have
obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you.
The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them.
And you are my friends if you do what I command you.
