In my Father’s name

“I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify to me. But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.” (JN 10: 25-30)

All of Our Lord’s actions came from His unity with His Father and from His relationship to the Father and with the Father. Any works He does, He does in His Father’s name—“The Father and I are one.” Also in our lives, our good actions are a result of being loved by God rather than a way to earn God’s love.

“My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me.” (Gospel Acclamation)
