恭讀聖若望福音 17:11-19
那時候,耶穌舉目向天說:「聖父啊!求你因你的名,保全那些你所賜給我的人,使他們合而為一,正如我們一樣。當我和他們同在時,我因你的名,保全了你所賜給我的人,護慰了他們,其中除了那喪亡之子,沒有一個喪亡,這是為應驗經上的話。但如今我到你那裏去,我在世上講這話,是為叫他們的心充滿我的喜樂。我已將你的話授給了他們,世界卻憎恨他們,因為他們不屬於世界,就如我不屬於世界一樣。我不求你將他們從世界上撤去,只求你保護他們脫免邪惡。他們不屬於世界,就如我不屬於世界一樣。求你以真理祝聖他們;你的話就是真理。就如你派遣我到世界上來,照樣我也派遣他們到世界上去。我為他們祝聖我自己,為叫他們也因真理而被祝聖。」
—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 17:11-19
Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying: “Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”
—The Gospel of the Lord.
