you have but one Teacher in heaven. ³⁶If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. ^{Mt 23:8 Mt 23:9 Mt 23:10 37}Wherever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. ^{Jn 15:7 38}Behold I am with you until the end of the world. ^{Mt 18:20 39}The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. ^{Mt 28:20 Jn 6:63 40}I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. ^{Jn 14:6}

⁴¹Let us, therefore, hold onto the words, the life, the teaching and the Holy Gospel of HimWhohumbled Himself to beg His Father for us and to make His name known saying: Father, glorify Your name ^{Jn 12:28} and glorify Your Son that Your Son may glorify You. ^{Jn 17:1}

⁴²Father, I have made Your name known to those whom You have given me. The words You gave to me I have given to them, and they have accepted them and truly have known that I came from You and they have believed that You sent me. ^{Jn 17:6 43}I pray for them, not for the world, ⁴⁴but for those You have given me, because they are Yours and everything of mine is Yours. ⁴⁵Holy Father, keep in Your name those You have given me that they may be one as We are. ^{Jn 17:8 Jn 17:9 Jn 17:10 46}I say this while in the world that they may have joy completely. ⁴⁷I gave them Your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world as I do not belong to the world. ⁴⁸I do not ask you to take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. ^{Jn 17:11 49}Glorify them in truth. ⁵⁰Your word is truth. ^{Jn 17:13 Jn 17:14 Jn 17:15}

⁵¹As You sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. ⁵²And I sanctify myself for them that they also may be sanctified in truth. ^{Jn 17:17 53}I ask not only for them but also for those who will believe in me through them, ^{Jn 17:18} that they may be brought to perfection as one, and the world may know that You have sent me and loved them as You loved me. ^{Jn 17:19 Jn 17:20 54}I shall make known to them Your name, that the love with which You loved me may be in them and I in them. ^{Jn 17:23 55}Father, I wish that those whom You have given me may be where I am that they may see Your glory ^{Jn 17:26} in Your kingdom. ^{Jn 17:24 Mt 20:21}

³⁵Nec vocemini magistri; unus est enim magister vester, qui in caelis est. ³⁶Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis, petetis et fiet vobis. ³⁷Ubicumque sunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo, ibi sum in medio eorum. ³⁸Ecce ego sum vobiscum usque ad consummationem saeculi. ³⁹Verba, quoe locutus sum vobis, spiritus et vita sunt. ⁴⁰Ego sum via, veritas et vita.

⁴¹Teneamus ergo verba, vitam et doctrinam et sanctum eius evangelium, qui dignatus est pro nobis rogare Patrem suum et nobis eius nomen manifestare dicens: Pater clarifica nomen tuum et clarifica Filium tuum, ut Filius tuus clarificet te. ⁴²Pater, manifestavi nomen tuum hominibus, quos dedisti mihi; quia verba quae dedisti mihi, dedi eis; et ipsi acceperunt et cognoverunt, quia a te exivi et crediderunt quia tu me misisti. ⁴³Ego pro eis rogo, non pro mundo, ⁴⁴sed pro his quos dedisti mihi, quia tui sunt et omnia mea tua sunt. ⁴⁵Pater sancte, serva eos in nomine tuo quos dedisti mihi, ut ipsi sint unum sicut et nos. ⁴⁶Haec loquor in mundo, ut habeant gaudium in semetipsis. ⁴⁷Ego dedi eis sermonem tuum; et mundus eos odio habuit, quia non sunt de mundo, sicut et ego non sum de mundo. ⁴⁸Non rogo ut tollas eos de mundo, sed ut serves eos a malo. ⁴⁹Mirifica eos in veritate. ⁵⁰Sermo tuus veritas est. ⁵¹Sicut tu me misisti in mundum, et ego misi eos in mundum. ⁵²Et pro eis sanctifico meipsum, ut sint ipsi sanctificati in veritate. ⁵³Non pro eis rogo tantum, sed pro eis, qui credituri sunt propter verbum eorum in me, ut sint consummati in unum, et cognoscat mundus, quia tu me misisti et dilexisti eos, sicut me dilexisti. ⁵⁴Et notum faciam eis nomen tuum, ut dilectio, qua dilexisti me, sit in ipsis et ego in ipsis. ⁵⁵Pater, quos dedisti mihi, volo, ut ubi ego sum, et illi sint mecum, ut videant claritatem tuam in regno tuo. Amen.
