\u201cI made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (John 17:26)<\/p>\n

With today\u2019s Gospel (John 17:20-26) <\/strong>we conclude the prayer of Jesus at the last Supper in which he prayed for his disciples who were present and for all his future disciples – us. It is a comforting promise that with Jesus in us we share in the love of the Trinity.<\/p>\n

In the past months we have seen and experienced countless heroic examples of this love being expressed throughout the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
