Reflection on Today's Gospel (John 17:1-11a)
|
|
Today’s Gospel Jesus
prays for us that as members of his body the church we would be one as he and
his Heavenly Father is one. The unity of Jesus and his Heavenly Father is a
unity of love and obedience and a unity of personal relationship. Because
Jesus loved us first and united us in baptism we are called to live in a
unity of love. Jesus’ prayer on the day of his sacrifice shows the great love
and trust he has in his beloved disciples. He knows they would discard him in
his hour of trial, yet he entrusted to them the great task of spreading his
name through-out the world and to the end of all the ages. The Lord entrust
us with the same task – to make him known and loved by all. Jesus died and
rose again that all might be one as he and the Father are one. Do we love and
agree to all baptized Christians as our brothers and sisters in Christ?
