DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage
Dear Friend in the Lord,
Jesus’ Proclamation: In today’s Gospel, Jesus prayed to His Father, “May they all be one, just as, Father, You are in Me and I am in You.” There is much division in relationships – in families, nations and the world. Let us pray that we will become God’s Light and Love to bring about greater unity in the world. What is Jesus saying to us today?

John 17:20-24
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: ‘I pray not only for these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in me. May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.
‘I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognize that it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.
‘Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see my glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.’
