20. II TUE of Epiphany

Jn. 17: 6-11: It is part of the ‘priestly prayer’ of Jesus. He prays for his own glorification, of the apostles and all Faithfull. By knowing God and his Christ the apostles and faithful are being consecrated in the truth and one is being united with Christ who in turn uplifts them to God in the prayer –just as the priests do. He asks God, the Father to have this unity.
