Leader:   "That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us,"

People:   Unite us, Lord, as you and the Father are one. Draw us into your holy communion.

Leader:   "So that the world may believe that you have sent me."

People:   Through our unity, may others come to know Christ.

Leader:   "The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one,"

People:   We receive your glory with humility, seeking to reflect it in our community.

Leader:    "I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one,"

People: Make us completely one, Lord, bound together in love.

 Leader:   "So that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."

People:   May our love for one another testify to your great love.

Leader:   "Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory,"

People:  We long to dwell in your presence and behold your glory.

Leader:   "I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."

All:  The love of Christ dwells among us. Let us worship God together!
