I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them.
(John 17:26)
Father, the very love which you have for your Son, who is one with you and the Spirit, you extend to those who have learned from Christ’s mission. How can we hear this without fainting for joy?
Jesus, you pray that this holy love will infuse us all. How can we be sad or anxious? Enable us to absorb your love and to radiate it to others.
Lord, I am not worthy, and yet you cleanse and heal me. Thank you for coming to me in the Host this afternoon. When I feel tired, lazy, and discouraged, remind me that I am not alone. Thy will be done.
