May 24 - Christ's Prayer for His Disciples
In this text, we find Jesus once again at prayer. Jesus is in conversation with his disciples, and he ends his conversation with a prayer, spoken in their presence, perhaps with the hope of having them listen in to the hopes and dreams he has for them. As he taught his disciples, once again, Jesus begins the prayer by calling on his father, as the source of his being and his power, the one to whom he addresses his requests.
