Communal Prayer

Loving Father,
Noticeably, it was not a general prayer,
but a prayer for a specific people and with a special focus.
After asking for His glorification,
Jesus prayed specially for His flock:
“I pray for them; I am not praying for the world
but for the ones You have given Me, for they are Yours;
all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine
and I am glorified in them.
Amen.
