GOSPEL READING: JOHN 17:11-19
This is the final prayer of Jesus with his disciples and for his disciples. Jesus prayed and his disciples listened to his prayer or they prayed with them. The prayer reveals the mind of Jesus with regard to God, the disciples and the world. The world is something negative or there are negative things in the world from which the disciples should be preserved.
God should protect the disciples from this world. He should keep them united (the world divides them). The only possession that the disciples are given is the word of God. Word of God is truth. The disciples have to be consecrated in this word which is truth. All these are done in the name of God and in the name of Jesus.
இயேசுவின் ஜெபம். இயேசுவின் மனநிலை தெளிவாக வெளிப்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. உலகம் தீயது அது சீடர்களை பிரிக்கிறது. சீடர்கள் பாதுகாக்கப்படவேண்டும் ஒற்றுமைப்படுத்தப்படவேண்டும் அர்ச்சிக்கப்படவேண்டும். இறைவார்த்தைதான் உண்மை.
