Gospel, Saint, prayer of May 1st

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to John 14,27-31a.
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «I leave you peace, I give you my peace. Not as the world gives it, I give it to you. Do not be troubled by your heart and do not be afraid.
You have heard that I said to you: I am going and I will come back to you; if you loved me, you would rejoice that I go to the Father, because the Father is greater than me.
I told you now, before it happens, because when it does, you believe.
I won't talk to you any longer, because the prince of the world comes; he has no power over me,
but the world must know that I love the Father and do what the Father has commanded me ».
