Keep Step With The Master
Thursday of the 7th week of Eastertide
Acts 22:30,23:6-11
Psalm 15(16):1-2,5,7-11
John 17:20-26
Keep step with the Master. He will lead you on the journey through.
Jesus continues his priestly prayer for his apostles but this time around his prayer extends to all believers and those who are yet to believe in His name. Soon enough, as he, the great master and teacher will be taken away from them.
The Father sends the Paraclete. In their great fear and anxiety, Jesus will continue to be present to them in the moment, reminding them of all that He has taught them. What great bonds of love exist between the Father and Son, now proceeding to the disciples!
The prayer of Jesus therefore, unites every faithful to Himself. The message of faith is the message of truth and the message of truth is also the message of salvation. Our salvation is from God for God is our refuge. As Paul’s life was preserved through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, God will make a way for us. Yes, the Lord of the host is with us the God of Israel is our stronghold.
PRAYER
May the Lord save you from all troubles and the wolves of the world.
May your life never be devoid of God’s graces but become better each moment and day.
Have a grace-filled day and God bless.
Fr Joseph Osho
