00:00:00.919 --> 00:00:03.700
Hello, this is Father Paul, and I'm glad we're

00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:05.740
taking this journey together to read the Bible

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:08.859
in a year. Today's reading is from the Gospel

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:13.099
of John, Chapter 17. Jesus spoke these words,

00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:16.620
lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father,

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.660
the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your

00:00:19.660 --> 00:00:22.920
Son also may glorify you, as you have given him

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.660
authority over all flesh, that he should give

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:28.579
eternal life to as many as you have given him.

00:00:28.859 --> 00:00:31.260
And this is eternal life, that they may know

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:34.320
you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.100
you have sent. I have glorified you on the earth.

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.520
I have finished the work which you have given

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.759
me to do. And now, O Father, glorify me together

00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.579
with yourself, with the glory which I had with

00:00:45.579 --> 00:00:49.020
you before the world was. I have manifested your

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:51.780
name to the men whom you have given me out of

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:54.939
the world. They were yours, you gave them to

00:00:54.939 --> 00:00:57.840
me, and they have kept your word. Now they have

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.359
known that all things which you have given me

00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.880
are from you. For I have given to them the words

00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.319
which you have given me, and they have received

00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.120
them, and have known surely that I came forth

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.000
from you, and they have believed that you sent

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.000
me. I pray for them. I do not pray for the world,

00:01:15.099 --> 00:01:18.159
but for those whom you have given me, for they

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.060
are yours, and all mine are yours, and yours

00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:25.000
are mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.719
no longer in the world, but these are in the

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.079
world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.560
your name those whom you have given me, that

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.040
they may be one as we are. While I was with them

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.620
in the world, I kept them in your name. Those

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:42.439
whom you gave me, I have kept, and none of them

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.780
is lost except the son of perdition, that the

00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:47.799
scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.140
to you, and these things I speak in the world,

00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:53.219
that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:56.079
I have given them your word, and the world has

00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.519
hated them because they are not of the world,

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.560
just as I am not of the world. I do not pray

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.939
that you should take them out of the world, but

00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:05.879
that you should keep them from the evil one.

00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.560
They are not of the world, just as I am not of

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.780
the world. Sanctify them by your truth. Your

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:15.740
word is truth. As you sent me into the world,

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.800
I also have sent them into the world. And for

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.780
their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:25.039
may be sanctified by the truth. I do not pray

00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.500
for these alone, but also for those who will

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.520
believe in me through their word, that they all

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.819
may be one as you, Father, are in me and I in

00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:37.639
you, that they also may be one in us, that the

00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.560
world may believe that you sent me, and the glory

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.400
which you gave me I have given them, that they

00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.159
may be one just as we are one, I in them and

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.259
you in me. that they may be made perfect in one,

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.120
and that the world may know that you have sent

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.819
me, and have loved them as you have loved me.

00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.580
Father, I desire that they also whom you gave

00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:02.979
me may be with me where I am, that they may behold

00:03:02.979 --> 00:03:06.159
my glory which you have given me, for you loved

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.879
me before the foundation of the world. O righteous

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.180
Father, the world has not known you, but I have

00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:14.919
known you, and these have known that you sent

00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.710
me, and I have declared to them your name. and

00:03:17.710 --> 00:03:20.610
will declare it, that the love with which you

00:03:20.610 --> 00:03:29.469
loved me may be in them and I in them. I hope

00:03:29.469 --> 00:03:31.330
you enjoyed today's reading as much as I did,

00:03:31.490 --> 00:03:33.409
and I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow

00:03:33.409 --> 00:03:35.909
to continue on our journey. God bless you and

00:03:35.909 --> 00:03:36.610
have a great day.
