Make us perceptive and attentive to Your new proposals to us:
“I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.
And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me.
Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me.
I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them” (Jn. 17:20-26).
Lord, Jesus, You offer yourself so that all may be drawn into the life, love, and communion of the Trinity and so that all may come to know the Father. May we receive Your invitation to abide in You and remain in You so that your proposal for the fullness of unity may become a reality!

With the name of Jesus always on our lips, we speak the holy and glorious name of the Father. May this novena to the Holy Spirit continue to purify our hearts so that we may be worthy to speak their names.
