John 17, 11-19

by Fr. Luis A. Zazano

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 17, 11-19

Jesus said to the disciples, ‘And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.’

Unity is strength.

1) Unity. We are approaching Pentecost. We ask the Holy Spirit to give us the grace of unity of all those who believe in Christ. That we may be united, accepting our differences, but walking together so that many may live a better life. But we also ask for the unity within the family. How many people are affected by divisions that exist within the family! So many children who suffer… Let us seek unity and pray for unity.

2) Take care of them. How wonderful it is to know that God takes care of each one of us! We have a God who protects us and loves us, He knows everything about us, our weaknesses and mistakes, He knows what we can and cannot do. He does not leave us alone, always remember that. He does not abandon us.

3) Fortitude. Today we ask the Holy Spirit for this gift, to have the ability to keep going when we feel tired and overwhelmed. Today we can walk together. Do not hesitate or doubt that. You have a lot to do and there are people who need you.

May God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And always remember Heaven is our goal.
