Reading

“My prayer is not for my followers alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

I have given them the light that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

—John 17 (NT)

Contemplation

As you begin your day, be reminded that you are in God’s presence and read again. Notice how God might be speaking to you through the passage. Dwell on a word or phrase that jumps out at you, and let your heart respond in silent prayer.

Prayer

• for eyes to see God’s work in the world around us

• for God’s care and comfort for those affected by natural disasters

• for veterinarians and zookeepers
