Chapter 17 of St. John reveals the heart of Jesus, centuries later made visible to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, and now an image that hangs in every Catholic Church and home: The Sacred Heart of Jesus, the heart of Jesus exposed as if by open-heart surgery, surrounded by a crown of thorns, and a flame leaping for its top. A heart burning on fire for love of us. In extremely intimate language, Jesus expresses desire to be one with us, as he is one with the Father. It's a desire we can hardly refuse. The work the the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit are to make this union happen. It is the work of a lifetime but in reality is the reason why we were created. Read John 17!
