Lectio: Jn 6.37-40

“And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but I should raise it [on] the last day.” Jn 6.37

“O God, You so want Your Son’s ministry to be effective.

I remember Jesus said that it was not Your will that He should lose anyone for whom He was sent but that He should bring them to eternal life.

Grant that I may rejoice in God’s will that I certainly am one for whom Jesus was sent for I am Jesus’ brother through baptism.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “what He gave me” - all creation; his brothers and sisters; destined for eternal life.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 15.1-10
