Reflection by Christel Casse (Lay Pastoral Assistant). Held Together in Love In our Gospel, Jesus prays that his followers may remain united in love and close to the Father. It is a gentle reminder that faith is never meant to be lived alone. We all carry struggles, worries, and moments of weakness, yet Christ continues to hold us together through prayer, compassion, and hope. In a world that can often feel divided or hurried, perhaps we are called to become people who bring peace, patience, and kindness to one another. Sometimes the greatest witness of faith is found in small acts of love, understanding, and encouragement. Even in difficult moments, we are reminded that we belong to God, and we remain held within the care of Christ.
