Gospel: John 17:11b-19

Optional Memorial of Saint Augustine of Canterbury, Bishop



Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying:

“Holy Father, keep them in your name

   that you have given me,

   so that they may be one just as we are one.

When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me,

   and I guarded them,

   and none of them was lost

   except the son of destruction,

   in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I am coming to you.

I speak this in the world

   so that they may share my joy completely.

I gave them your word, and the world hated them,

   because they do not belong to the world

   any more than I belong to the world.

I do not ask that you take them out of the world

   but that you keep them from the Evil One.

They do not belong to the world

   any more than I belong to the world.

Consecrate them in the truth.

Your word is truth.

As you sent me into the world,

   so I sent them into the world.

And I consecrate myself for them,

   so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”
