Word for Thursday May 21. St. Christopher Magallanes.

“Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: I pray not only for these but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you Father are in me and I in you…Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am, they may also be.” John 17:20-21, 24. Pope Francis said, “In the soul of every child God places the seal of his love, which is the basis of his or her personal dignity, a dignity that nothing and no one can destroy.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, you have loved us forever, even before we were born, you knew us and loved us. We cannot comprehend your love, nor the unity in God that is our home too. We thank you for the gift of faith, and we ask to become light for others, that they too may come to know your love. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
