Gospel Reading: John 17:20-26




20 “I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message.
21 I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.
22 I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one:
23 I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.
24 “Father! You have given them to me, and I want them to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, the glory you gave me; for you loved me before the world was made.
25 Righteous Father! The world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you sent me. 26 I made you known to them, and I will continue to do so, in order that the love you have for me may be in them, and so that I also may be in them.”

Reflection:

“I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message.“
God prays for everybody. He prays for our unity. Jesus Christ wants the whole world to know love. And if love reigns, world peace will come after. Share the love of the Lord to everyone. In giving love, you must first know how to respect. Respecting is understanding the limits of someone. If you know how to respect, you will also know how to appreciate. Appreciation comes after respecting. Appreciating is recognizing the full worth of someone. When you already respect and appreciate someone, there comes the trust. If you learn those three, you can share the love of God to everybody.
Love everyone, even those who argue or are against you because God did not choose on who will He love.
