"May they be one like ourselves"
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To John (17, 11b-19)
At that time, with his eyes raised to heaven, Jesus prayed thus: “Holy Father, keep my disciples united in your name, the name which you have given me, that they may be one, like ourselves. When I was with them, I kept them united in your name, the name you gave me. I have watched over them, and none have been lost except one who goes to their ruin so that the Scripture may be fulfilled. And now that I come to you, I speak thus, in the world, that they may have in them my joy, and that they be filled with it. I gave them your word, and the world hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I'm not praying that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
Sanctify them in the truth: your word is truth. Just as you sent me to the world, so I sent them to the world. And for them I sanctify myself, so that they too may be sanctified in the truth. "
The Gospel of the Lord.
