THE GIFT OF PRAYER The impulse to pray comes from God. So even before we begin to pray, we have already received a precious gift from the Lord. We must never worry about how to pray or put it off until we really have time to dedicate to prayer. Instead, we can imitate Jesus. In the Gospel today, Jesus is dining with his friends. He has a lot on his mind. Recognizing the need for God’s strength and wisdom, Jesus simply glances toward heaven and speaks from his heart: “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.” With those clear words, Jesus accomplishes two beautiful things: he models for us how to pray; and he actually prays for us. Right at that very moment—and always—he prays for each and every one of us.

Today’s Readings: Acts 7:55–60; Ps 97:1–2, 6–7, 9; Rev 22:12–14, 16–17, 20; Jn 17:20–26
