TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus prayed to the Father,

“Now at last they know

that all you have given me comes indeed from You;

for I have given them the teaching You gave to me,

and they have truly accepted this,

that I came from you, and have believed that it was you who sent me.

.

I pray for them.”

.

– John 17:7-9

.

REFLECTION…

.

As a Christian and a disciple of Jesus,

I can gradually acquire knowledge of God and of divine things

through living a life of faith

and maintaining a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

.

“I pray for them.”

When Jesus prays for His disciples, He is also praying for us.

Jesus prays for our unity, perseverance, joy and holiness

– until we join Him in His Kingdom.

PRAYER…

.

Pray for me, Lord Jesus, and heal me.

Grant that I may persevere in seeking to be holy,

and in the desire to be always filled with, and to keep,

that wonderful, deep inner joy, which only You can give.
