View the post for February 27 for an explanation of my Lenten Project My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Recently I learned that the root systems of aspen trees are different from the root systems of other trees. Each aspen tree in a grove of aspens is a shoot from a single root ball with their roots connected and intertwined - each tree coming from one single source. When Jesus prayed with his disciples on the night he was betrayed he not only prayed for them but also for us, his disciples who would come in the future. He prayed that his disciples would have a kind of unity like that of an aspen grove. He prayed that our roots would be intertwined like his were with Father God. He knew that we would need each other to walk through this life. He knew we would only find the source for life and strength in him as he found his strength in Father God. He prayed for complete unity made possible by God’s love. Dear friends may we seek to be intertwined with each other like the aspen trees, many shoots with one source, our Father God.
Prayer Lord Jesus Intertwine our hearts. Show us how we can love each other as Christ loves us and let our unity lead others to you. Amen
