In this week's edition of There's more in the Gospel than meets the eye, Jill
Bevilacqua and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the Seventh
Sunday of Easter. Listen:
GospelJn 17:20-26
Lifting up his eyes
to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: “Holy Father, I pray not only for them, but
also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may
all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they
also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And
I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we
are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to
perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and
that you loved them even as you loved me. Father, they are your gift to
me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they
may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation
of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but
I know you, and they know that you sent me. I made known to them your name
and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may
be in them and I in them.”
