Words of Jesus
"I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me. I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."
John 17:20-26
Children should be loved for the love of Him who created them, and not for the love of self nor of the children.
— St Catherine of Siena
Abba, Father, Lord God, today's readings and Gospel are rich in hidden treasures worth meditation and contemplation. I give thanks and praise for Thy Wisdom that You made available to us in Thy Word from when Thy first spoke them at the moment of creation and have passed down from generation to generation, first in the Law and then in Love over Anger for our human condition of disobedience and selfish pride and made the Word into Life in and through Jesus Christ who You sent to save us from that which we could not save ourselves; that being ourselves. So I say the words of the Psalmist in prayer 'Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge. I say to the LORD, "Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee." The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure. For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit. Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore' and ask that the pray of Jesus be made live in and through me so that as Jesus ask that the part of the world that I walk see Your Holy Spirit in me and know that it is through and in Jesus that I unlock this Wisdom and begin to know You my Source of Source, and as father, son, brother and friend give reason by example for my father, son, brother and friends to also seek You through and in Jesus. So help me remain watchful in hope, find courage through faith, and let my words, acts and expressions be delivered in love. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
