REFLECTION - LECTIO DIVINA
• In today’s Gospel, in that of tomorrow and of day after tomorrow, we will meditate on the words that Jesus addressed to the Father at the moment of his farewell, when leaving. John keeps these words and puts them in Jesus’ mouth during his last encounter with the disciples. It is the Testament of Jesus in the form of a prayer, also called the Priestly Prayer (Jn 17, 1-26)…. Chapter 17 is a diverse text. It is a friendlier one rather than one of reasoning. In order to grasp well the whole sense, it is not sufficient to reflect with the head, with reason. This text has to be meditated upon and accepted also in the heart. It is a text not so much to be discussed, but to meditate on and to reflect. Therefore, do not be worried if you do not understand it immediately. This text demands a whole life to meditate it and to deepen it. Such a text should be read, meditated on, thought, read again, repeated, savoured, as one does with a good sweet in the mouth. One turns it and turns it in the mouth until it is finished. For this, close the eyes, keep silence within you and listen to Jesus who speaks to you, transmitting in his Testament his greatest concern, his last will. Try to discover which is the point on which Jesus insists the most and, which he considers the most important. • John 17, 1-3: “Father, the hour has come!” It is the long awaited hour (Jn 2, 4; 7,30; 8, 20; 12, 23.27; 13, 1; 16, 32). It is the moment of the glorification which will take place through the Passion, Death and Resurrection. In reaching the end of his mission, Jesus looks back and proceeds to a revision. In this prayer, he expresses the most intimate sentiment of his heart and the profound discovery of his soul: the presence of the Father in his life. ************************************ • John 17, 4-8: Father, they will recognize that I come ATTENTION ALL PARISHIONERS from you! In reviewing his own life Jesus sees himself as a manifestation of the Father for the friends whom the Father has given him. Jesus does not live for himEXPOSITION OF THE self. He lives in order that all may have a flash of BLESSED SACRAMENT goodness and of love which are enclosed in the Name of God which is Abba, Father. Every Thursday in the Church • John 17, 9-11a: All I have is yours and all you have is At the moment of leaving the world, Jesus exfollowing the 8:30 a.m. mass mine! presses to the Father his concern and prays for the un l 1:00 p.m. friends whom he leaves behind; and that they will continue in the world, but they are not of the world. They COME, LET US ADORE! are of Jesus, they are God’s, and they are signs of God and of Jesus in this world. Jesus is concerned about the persons who remain, and he prays for them.

REFLEXIÓN - LECTIO DIVINA • En el Evangelio de hoy, en el de mañana y después de mañana, meditaremos en las palabras que Jesús dirigió al Padre en el momento de su despedida, al salir. Juan guarda estas palabras y las pone en la boca de Jesús durante su último encuentro con los discipulos. Es el Testamento de Jesús en la forma de una oración, también llamada Oración Sacerdotal (Jn 17, 1 -26) .... El capítulo 17 es un texto diverso. Es más amable y no razonante. Para comprender bien todo el sentido, no basta con reflexionar con la cabeza, con la razón. Este texto debe ser meditado y aceptado también en el corazón. Es un texto no tanto para ser discutido, sino para meditar y reflexionar. Por lo tanto, no se preocupe si no lo entiende inmediatamente. Este texto exige toda una vida para meditarlo y profundizarlo. Tal texto debe ser leído, meditado, pensado, leído de nuevo, repetido, saboreado, como se hace con un buen dulce en la boca. Uno lo gira y lo gira en la boca hasta que se termina. Para esto, cierra los ojos, guarda silencio dentro de ti y escucha a Jesús que te habla, transmitiendo en su Testamento su mayor preocupación, su última voluntad. Trate de descubrir cuál es el punto en el que Jesús insiste más y, que él considera el más importante. • Juan 17, 1-3: "¡Padre, ha llegado la hora!" Es la hora tan esperada (Jn 2, 4, 7, 30, 8, 20, 12, 23, 27, 13, 1, 16, 32). Es el momento de la glorificación que tendrá lugar a través de la Pasión, la Muerte y la Resurrección. Al llegar al final de su misión, Jesús mira hacia atrás y procede a una revisión. En esta oración expresa el sentimiento más íntimo de su corazón y el profundo descubrimiento de su alma: la presencia del Padre en su vida. • Juan 17, 4-8: Padre, ellos reconocerán que yo vengo de ti. Al revisar su propia vida, Jesús se ve a sí mismo como una manifestación del Padre para los amigos que el Padre le ha dado. Jesús no vive para sí mismo. Él vive para que todos tengan un destello de bondad y de amor que están encerrados en el Nombre de Dios que es Abba, Padre. • Juan 17, 9-11a: ¡Todo lo que tengo es tuyo y todo lo que tienes es mío! Al momento de salir del mundo, Jesús expresa al Padre su preocupación y ora por los amigos que deja atrás; Y que continuarán en el mundo, pero no son del mundo. Son de Jesús, son de Dios, y son signos de Dios y de Jesús en este mundo. Jesús está preocupado por las personas que permanecen, y él ora por ellas. Tomado de LECTIO DIVINA: JOHN 17,1-11A 214-5
