Jesus Prays For Us

 

 

Jesus prayed for us at the conclusion of the Last Supper that we might know him and the Father intimately and, strengthened by that knowledge and love, teach others about it, even amidst persecution rejection... His prayer continues to this day. Noted Catholic author, Mike Pacer,

gives us a succinct lesson on our mission and provides us with today's slice of bread: 

We are called to imitate the mission of Jesus. We must extend mercy to everyone, including ourselves. We must reach out to the poor, not only with money, but also with our time and our love. We must treat them with respect. We must give sight to those blind to the truth by lovingly sharing the fullness of faith found in Christ. We must forgive those held in bondage to us by past wrongs by forgiving them. We must also reach out to accept the freedom Jesus offers us from our own bondage, whether we are bound by sin, despair, addiction, egotism, materialism, or something else.
