White.
Acts 20:28 – 38 / Jn 17:11b -19
From the 1st Reading: Acts 20:28 – 32
Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock the Holy Spirit placed in your care. Shepherd the Church of the Lord which he has won at the price of his own blood. I know that after I leave, ruthless wolves will come among you and not spare the flock. And from among yourselves, some will arise corrupting the truth and inducing the disciples to follow them. . .
Now I commend you to God and to his grace-filled word, which is able to make you grow and gain the inheritance that you shall share with all the saints.
Gospel Reading: Jn 17: 11b - 19
Jesus prayed, "Holy Father, keep them in your Name (that you have given me,) so that they may be one, just as we are.
"When I was with them, I kept them safe in your Name, and not one was lost except the one who was already lost, and in this the Scripture was fulfilled. But now I am coming to you and I leave these my words in the world that my joy may be complete in them.
"I have given them your word and the world has hated them because they are not of the world; just as I am not of the world. I do not ask you to remove them from the world but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world; consecrate them in the truth – your word is truth.
"I have sent them into the world as you sent me into the world, and for their sake, I go to the sacrifice by which I am consecrated, so that they too may be consecrated in truth."
Reflection
At the Last Supper Jesus prays to the Father, entrusting to him his close disciples like a concerned parent for his/her children. Jesus realizes that his task was almost done. He prays for the overall well-being of his friends. Aware of the troubles they will face in the future, he is confident that he has prepared them well and they will get their task done.
Our teachers and professors feel the same way when we move up or graduate. They are proud of their students and know that they are ready for life. They also pray that they have taught them well enough to face any challenges that may come their way.
Jesus, we know that life is a continuous learning experience. But you have prepared us and will continue to guide us through stormy situations. Let us find our strength in you to overcome obstacles and be the true followers that you wish us to be. Lord, please help us to stay faithful, and to remain consecrated in your truth.
