John 17:11,18,21-23
11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Reflection
Today our piece of John 17 talks about the two types of
relationships we have in our lives. Our relationship with God in the Trinity and our human relationships. What do you think our scripture today tells us about the overflow of the fellowship of hearts in the Trinity into our human
relationships?
