Jesus, You are one with the Father. May we be one with You.

You have given us Your Eucharist, that we be united too.

May we share in Your joy with Your joy in us complete.

You have given us Your holy word, that we not know defeat.

You call us out of the world, O Lord.  For us, this is Your will.

Protect us from the evil one, who seeks to destroy and kill.

Your word is truth.  In the truth may we now be consecrated.

May we live by Your laws, though by the world we’re hated.

As we consecrate ourselves in truth, also consecrate now too,

All our sons and daughters.  Draw each one in truth to You.

Protect them from the evil one, who plots their destruction.

Help them find hope and faith, in Your resurrection.

Go to them now dear Jesus.  Fill them with the truth,

Which they abandoned years ago, in past days of their youth.

Consecrate them in the truth.  From harm, keep them protected.

May truth now fill each fallen soul, in truth be they resurrected.

(Based on John 17:11-19)
