Lord Jesus, the time came when anything you said
became a provocation for reproach and derision,
a time your enemies taunted and cursed you.
They knew neither you, nor the Father who
sent you, nor your love for each
other.
May that love be in us, and may you
be in us, to discipline us in
your way.

you have loved me may be in them, and I in them." [Jesus praying]
