Today's gospel 
 *John17:20-26*

 *Reflection*
Jesus prays for the unity and love of all believers, extending beyond his disciples to those who will believe through their message. He desires that they be one with the Father and himself, mirroring the Father's love for him, so that the world may believe that God sent him. 

 *Prayer*
Amazing Father, we confess that the members of the Body of Christ are one, just as You and Your Son are one.  Father, we are expecting Your heart to beat among us and we confess that as we pray, there will be unity among us and it will remain.  We declare that we will be like-minded and there will be no division in the Spirit among us.  We will love our neighbors as ourselves. Father, above all things, we confess that we will put on love which is the bond of perfection.
 *Amen*
