I pray for them

“Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. I pray for them” (JN 17, 7-9)

We are protected by Our Lord’s prayer. He prays for us to God, the Father; He talks about us to Him. At the same moment, Our Lord shares with us the words the Father gave to Him; the words about His love for us, redemption and our relationship with Him. We are loved by the Father, and this love is given to us every day with Our Lord’s love, and the words received from Him and given to us are always about this love.

“I will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always.” (Gospel Acclamation)
