During today’s reflection Fr. Sam Kachuba reflects on Jesus’ powerful prayer in John 17:1–11, drawing a striking parallel to St. Paul’s farewell in Acts 20:17–27. Both moments capture a heartfelt recap—a passing on of the fullness of the Gospel.

As Jesus prays to the Father, saying He has shared everything with His followers, Paul echoes the same spirit, telling the priests of Ephesus he has not withheld a single word of God’s plan. Fr. Sam invites us to reflect on this as a blueprint for today’s preachers—and a prayer we can offer for our priests and bishops: that they may have the courage to proclaim the entire Gospel, especially when it’s difficult.

A short but bold encouragement to remain faithful, speak the Truth, and trust in the grace of Christ.
