John 17:11:19

'I
ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe
in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me
and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you
have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they
may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become
completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved
them even as you have loved me. Father, I desire that those also, whom you have
given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me
because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the
world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me.
I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with
which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.’

 

Reflection

Today, I pray God help me to do his
will joyfully and fearlessly. 

Do I have an intimate knowledge of the many gifts
I have received from God? 
How may
I use these gifts in the service of God’s people
so that they can know God’s name?
