Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus’ Prayer – Truth”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus prayed to His Father to protect His believers from the Evil One, and to consecrate them in the Truth.” Ponder on, “Jesus has deep concerns that the deceptions of the Evil One may weaken our faith. We should never fear the Evil Spirits, if our hearts are committed to loving and following Jesus wholeheartedly.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 17:11b,15-19
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: ‘Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us.
‘I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth.’
