| That they may be one… | Jn 17:11-12 |
| The Latin: Et iam non sum in mundo, et hii in mundo sunt, et ego ad te venio. Pater sancte, serva eos in nomine tuo quos dedisti mihi; ut sint unum, sicut et nos. Cum essem cum eis, ego servabam eos in nomine tuo. Quos dedisti mihi custodivi; et nemo ex his perivit, nisi filius perditionis, ut scriptura impleatur. |
The English: And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled. |
| And we will pray not only for our brothers who fell away in the schisms of the last several centuries, but for they within the Church herself who seek to divide her for such reasons as liturgy. Dear God, that we would only be one. Text from DRBO, again. | |
