Jesus’s prayer ... that they may be one

Morning: Psalm 102; Jeremiah 20:7-11; I Corinthians 10:14-17; 11:27-32

Evening: Psalms 142, 143; John 17:1-11

Here, close to the end of his life’s work, Jesus prays.  His prayer points to his being at one with the source of all things.  He also prays that those to whom he has entrusted his Good News might also be one.  Jesus’s prayer for oneness in the Cosmos is a kind of manifesto of the movement of reconciliation and justice that his life sets in motion ... When we trust the movement of history that Jesus inaugurated, his Way of Peace, we move the world in the direction of Peace.
