Friends of the Rosary,

In today’s Gospel (John 17:1–11a), Christ the Lord raised his eyes to heaven and said,
"Father, the hour has come.
Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,
just as you gave him authority over all people,
so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him."
In this prayer to the Father, the Lord summed up his work as he was about to return to the eternal glory.
Jesus is in his very person the meeting of heaven and earth. Divinity and humanity came together in him by carrying God's light into the darkest places of the human condition and transforming it. The proof that heaven is able to transform earth is the resurrection and the ascension.
"By calling a scattered Israel to unity, inviting the poor to table fellowship, healing the sick in body and heart, and embodying the path of forgiveness and love, Jesus was bringing God’s will and purpose to earth," writes Bishop Barron.

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
