Reflection
Acts 20:28-38, John 17:11-19

“Belonging to God”
Today, let us continue with Jesus’ prayer for His disciples and for us. Jesus prayed, “Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us...”

The word ‘keep’ reminds us of the image of a Shepherd keeping watch over his sheep so that they will be safe and protected. When a sheep starts to wander away from the Shepherd than it gets lost and troubled.

Today, let us simply find comfort in this reality that we belong to God. Nothing and nobody can take away God’s love from us. Like sheep in the arms of the Shepherd, we too are safely kept by God who watches over us, day and night. We are never alone. We are one with God and in God.

Questions for reflection:
1) Do I live in this awareness that I belong to God? Why?
