Jesus Praying

Beloved saints,

In the gospel appointed for the 7th Sunday of Easter, we meet Jesus in prayer with God for his disciples. A tender moment between God the Father and God the Son, which reveals a way for us to see how Jesus cared about his friends, and by virtue of baptism, us who also follow his way.

He said, “I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.”

As Jesus’ beloved, our mission is to be reconcilers in a world desperate for divine love, to bring to the fold all those seeking ways to be known more fully by God.

As Jesus’ hands and feet in this place, at this time, I wonder… How might you invite Jesus to pray for you this week? 

In peace,

Jodi+
