Words of Jesus
And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.
John 17:11-19
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
— St. Augustine
Abba, Father, Lord God, thank You for Your presence which accompanies me from when I wake to when I close my eyes and hope that my dreams maybe filled with You in Jesus. Today I wake rested in You yet anxious under the sun, I feel Your presence through Jesus yet I see and hear the busyness, noise and realities under the sun as I try to keep my thoughts centered on You and to bring together if only in thought all those I love dearly and miss so much. But then the clock catches my attention and reminds me I must keep walking; so my mind begins to search for ways to do what I must without losing the sensation of Your presence with all those I have gather together in my mind with You and Jesus. Then as always when I truly look to You with open heart and mind, You give to me Your words filled in Your truth; and while I know that in thought as in my walk the busyness, noise and realities under the sun will tend to separate me from You and those I love, I know that through the Spirit in Jesus I can be with You and in Your presence I can find the peace and comfort with those I love. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
