Our Lord Jesus Christ was a prayerful Man.
When He was in the world He spent most of his time praying to God, His Father.
In the gospel of John 17:llb-19, he prayed for unity of his
followers: “Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that
they may be one, even as we are one." With this prayer of Lord Jesus
Christ, the Lord od will surely keep us united.
He further prayed for the protection of his followers: "I do not
pray that you should take them out of the world,
but that you should keep them from the evil
one." May God protect us from the evil one! He also prayed for our
sanctification: "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth."
Through God's word may the Lord sanctify each and everyone of us in His truth,
through Christ our Lord - Amen!
Inspirational
Message:
Jesus Christ did not just pray for his selfish interest. He prayed for the
unity of his followers, for their protection and sanctification.
Prayer
for Divine sanctification: Heavenly Father, you Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
prayed for our sanctification when he prayed, "Sanctify them in the truth;
your word is truth." Lord, we need this sanctification! In your mercy,
sanctify us with your truth and may we live a truthful life through Christ our
Lord - Amen!
