5/15/2024 (Wednesday) Today’s gospel reading: John 17:11B-19

Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying:
11B Holy Father, keep them in your name whom you have given me; that they may be one, as we also are.
12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name. Those whom you gave me have I kept; and none of them is lost, except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves.
14 I gave them your word, and the world hated them because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One.
16 They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
17 Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.
18 As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.
19 And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
