“It will not be out of place to consider the ancient tradition, teaching and faith of the Catholic Church, which was revealed by the Lord, proclaimed by the apostles and guarded by the fathers. For upon this faith the Church is built, and if anyone were to lapse from it, he would no longer be a Christian either in fact or in name.”
God’s Glory and Oneness in Christ
A Homily for the 7th Sunday in Easter
Fr. Brian John Zuelke, O.P.
“I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one” (Jn 17:22). This line from today’s Gospel is the most mysterious statement among many mysterious mentions of “glory” (δόξα) in the “High Priestly Prayer” of Jesus preceding his Passion (Jn 17).
