November 12th: Memorial of Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr
Gospel text
Jn 17:20-26
Jesus prayed saying: “I pray not only for these, 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."
Gospel's Commentary
Today we remember that Jesus, in his priestly prayer, prayed for the unity of his followers. Who could have imagined that, despite the Lord's pleas, the desired unity would be so arduous and expensive? It cost St. Josaphat’s life! (It is protomartyr of the re-unification of Christianity). —Saint Josaphat “began to devote himself to the restoration of unity, with such force and, at the same time, with such softness and such fruit, that his own adversaries called him ‘thief of souls’” (Pius XI).
