Jesus prays to the Father and intercedes for us

Jesus prays to the Father and intercedes for us
Wednesday of the Seventh Week of Easter
Gospel text
Jn 17:11b-19
"Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth."
Gospel's Commentary

The best shield for our defense is the truth.

But is that serious? Life does not go that way! "Jesus, thank you for your words.
