“Love leads to unity”
In this time of prayer, let us reflect on our relationships with our family members, colleagues, friends, fellow parishioners and ask ourselves: Does my love build unity?
“In a Christian community division is one of the most serious sins, because it does not allow God to act...What God wants is that we be welcoming, that we forgive and love each other so as to become more and more like Him, who is communion and love.” (Pope Francis)

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.
