John 17:1- 5


Jesus said these things and having lifted up his eyes to heaven, said:
‘Father, the hour has come. 

Glorify your son, so that the son might glorify you. 

Just as you have given to him authority over all flesh, so that all who you have given to him – he will give to them resurrection life. This is ‘resurrection  life’ – that they may know you, the only true God and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 

I have glorified you on the earth, by completing the work which you gave me to do. 

And now glorify me, Father in your presence , with the glory which I had, by your side. before the world existed.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy,
For your mercy and for your truth’s sake. Amen
