Jn 17, 1-11
En aquel tiempo, Jesús levantó los ojos al cielo y dijo: "Padre, ha llegado la hora. Glorifica a tu Hijo, para que tu Hijo también te glorifique, y por el poder que le diste sobre toda la humanidad, dé la vida eterna a cuantos le has confiado. La vida eterna consiste en que te conozcan a ti, único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien tú has enviado.
Yo te he glorificado sobre la tierra, llevando a cabo la obra que me encomendaste. Ahora, Padre, glorifícame en ti con la gloria que tenía, antes de que el mundo existiera.
He manifestado tu nombre a los hombres que tú tomaste del mundo y me diste. Eran tuyos y tú me los diste. Ellos han cumplido tu palabra y ahora conocen que todo lo que me has dado viene de ti, porque yo les he comunicado las palabras que tú me diste; ellos las han recibido y ahora reconocen que yo salí de ti y creen que tú me has enviado.
Te pido por ellos; no te pido por el mundo, sino por éstos, que tú me diste, porque son tuyos. Todo lo mío es tuyo y todo lo tuyo es mío. Yo he sido glorificado en ellos. Ya no estaré más en el mundo, pues voy a ti; pero ellos se quedan en el mundo''.

GospelJN 17:1-11A
Jesus 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.
Now this is eternal life,
that they should know you, the only true God,
and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
I glorified you on earth
by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
Now glorify me, Father, with you,
with the glory that I had with you before the world began.
"I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world.
They belonged to you, and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
because the words you gave to me I have given to them,
and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you,
and they have believed that you sent me.
I pray for them.
I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me,
because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours
and everything of yours is mine,
and I have been glorified in them.
And now I will no longer be in the world,
but they are in the world, while I am coming to you."

Meditacion:
Antes de su pasión y muerte, el Señor elevó una plegaria final a su Padre, que leemos en el capítulo 17 del Evangelio de San Juan. En ella, intercedió por todos los creyentes, tanto los de esa época como los del futuro.
Se despide el Maestro, en el evangelio y se despide el discípulo en la primera lectura. Pablo muestra su confianza en el futuro, a pesar de que sabe que no será fácil. No sé lo que me espera allí, sólo sé que el Espíritu Santo, de ciudad en ciudad, me asegura que me aguardan cárceles y luchas. Parece que la vida del apóstol del primer siglo y la de la Iglesia del siglo XXI no han cambiado tanto.
La mayoría de nosotros vivimos en países donde hay libertad religiosa, pero no todos pueden decir lo mismo. Hay muchos cristianos perseguidos. Y muchos han sido testigos de su fe, hasta la muerte. Por no callarse nada. Por anunciar enteramente el plan de salvación de Dios para el mundo. Un proyecto de amor, de justicia, de solidaridad… Esas cosas que no a todos les vienen bien, con las que algunos no están de acuerdo. Pero que es lo que de verdad importa.
¿Qué es lo que de verdad nos importa? ¿Qué es lo que de verdad me importa? Porque, para ser testigo, hasta el final, hay que poder ser capaz de perder la vida por el Reino. Y eso no se improvisa. Cristo rogó al padre por ellos, porque eran de los suyos. Y todos supieron que lo verdaderamente importante es el seguimiento de Cristo. Antes que conservar la vida. A mí eso me cuestiona. Reviso mi vida, y veo lo mucho que tengo que mejorar. Y me entra algo de preocupacion.
El salmo de hoy nos ayuda a rezar en los momentos difíciles. Bendito el Señor cada día, Dios lleva nuestras cargas, es nuestra salvación. Nuestro Dios es un Dios que salva, el Señor Dios nos hace escapar de la muerte. Repítelo muchas veces, si te sientes cansado, agobiado, preocupado. Que es una buena ayuda. Para dejar de sentirte agobiado.
Hermano, pídele a Jesucristo que sea tu Señor y Salvador y así te salvarás tú y tal vez puedas llevar a tus seres queridos al Señor también.
“Gracias, Cristo Jesús, por revelarnos a tu Padre. Sin ti, estaríamos irremediablemente perdidos y privados de toda esperanza. Ayúdanos a dar a conocer al Padre a todas las personas que veamos hoy día.”
Amen

Before his passion and death, the Lord raised a final prayer to his Father, which we read in chapter 17 of the Gospel of Saint John. In it, he interceded for all believers, both those of that time and those of the future.
The Master is dismissed in the Gospel and the disciple is dismissed in the first reading. Pablo shows his confidence in the future, even though he knows it will not be easy. I do not know what awaits me there, I only know that the Holy Spirit, from city to city, assures me that prisons and struggles await me. It seems that the life of the apostle of the first century and that of the Church of the 21st century have not changed so much.
Most of us live in countries where there is religious freedom, but not everyone can say the same. There are many persecuted Christians. And many have witnessed their faith, until death. For not shutting up anything. For announcing entirely God's plan of salvation for the world. A project of love, justice, solidarity ... Those things that do not all come well, with which some do not agree. But what really matters.
What is it that really matters to us? What is it that really matters to me? Because, to be a witness, until the end, we must be able to lose our lives for the Kingdom. And that is not improvised. Christ prayed to the father for them, because they were his. And everyone knew that what is really important is the following of Christ. Rather than preserve life. That questions me. I review my life, and I see how much I have to improve. And I got some concern.
Today's psalm helps us pray in difficult times. Blessed the Lord every day, God carries our burdens, is our salvation. Our God is a God who saves, the Lord God makes us escape death. Repeat it many times, if you feel tired, overwhelmed, worried. That is a good help. To stop feeling overwhelmed.
Brother, ask Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior and that way you will be saved and maybe you can take your loved ones to the Lord as well.
"Thank you, Jesus Christ, for revealing us to your Father. Without you, we would be irretrievably lost and deprived of all hope. Help us to make known to the Father all the people we see today. "
Amen
