GOSPEL READING
JOHN 17:20-26

A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN
(MAY THEY BE COMPLETELY ONE.)
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:
“Holy Father,
I pray not only for these,
but for those also
who through their words will believe in me.
May they all be one.
Father, may they be one in us,
as you are in me and I am in you,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so completely one
that the world will realise
that it was you who sent me
and that I have loved them
as much as you loved me.
Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see the glory
you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Righteous One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
R.) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
