Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Disciples – Consecrated in the Truth”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus prayed for His disciples, “Holy Father, protect them from the Evil One; they do not belong to the world; consecrate them in the Truth; Your Word is Truth.” Ponder on, “When we serve God’s people, we need His special protective Love and Wisdom; to witness and draw people closer to Him.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 17:11b, 15-19
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: ‘Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us.
‘I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth.’
