Readings:

John 17:11-19

Reflection:

“In today’s reading we see a prayer from Jesus who prays for the unity and protection of his followers. As Passionist’s we are called to protect and support one another amidst challenges, staying true to our values of unconditional love. So many times in our lives, we feel like we could take away the pain from those around us or that we know better than others. Perhaps we should take a note from Jesus and pray that others find their own path as we walk with them on their journey as they discover Christ in their life. May we always remember that just as we do this for others, Jesus walks with us on our journey, not pushing or shoving but waiting for us to come to them so that we also find the path that is right for us.”
