They have kept your word

“I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 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.” (JN 17: 6-8)

The words from the Father came to us through Our Lord—“the words you gave to me I have given to them.” Our responsibility is to keep His word. With His word we receive the most wonderful benefits: being His own children, being loved forever and being joyful in our expectations of Heaven.

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