“Holy Father, keep them in your name, so that they may be one just as we are one…I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely…I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.” John 17:11, 13, 15-16. St. Bede the Venerable said, “Unfurl the sails, and let God steer us where he will.”
Let us pray, Holy Father, hear the eternal word of your Son, and keep us from the enemy. Jesus bought eternal life for us, and now we are yours, Father, one with you. We are destined for eternity, and yet you have plans for us in this world. By your grace, may we serve in love. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
