Day 13
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
Jesus had a last request. He knew what was facing him the next day, but his last prayer was not for himself, but for you. For all of us. Jesus prayed for his followers. Jesus' prayer is a wonderful window into God's will for us. Be an answer to Jesus' prayer this week. Go through his prayer line-by-line to see how. This weekend, as the global Church unites to celebrate his resurrection, let's look for ways to be one with God and one with each other. Make Jesus' prayer your prayer, that the world will see his glory and come to know him through our unity and God's love.
