“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).

Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
May we always see Jesus with the eyes of faith, like Simeon and like Anna, and may we too be given the grace to live in the House of the Lord all the days of our life and to savor His sweetness.

In the Holy Eucharist, Christ our True Vine firmly unites us to Himself. His lifeblood flows through our veins; He unites our flesh to His in a firm bond of love.
