May 4 Sunday Gospel Reflections on John 17:1-11a
Today's Gospel is a very moving prayer of Jesus to His Father. It's a homage to the power and glorification of God's might. The oneness of Jesus to His Father is also emphasized here.
But more importantly, we get to see how Jesus Christ prays to His Father.
He doesn't demand for anything. He doesn't ask for things...all He has to say are the things that He has done for His Father.
We are also challenged to do this way. I've seen an saying in the street that says "When you pray, don't give God instructions. Report for duty."
At the end of everyday before we go to sleep or anything that we usually do, we ask the Father to bless us in the things that we do. Maybe it's the right time that we tell Him what are doing in His name. Today's world is a very challenging to us Christians so God has continuously challenged us to spread His name in the face of all these obstacles.
