Memorial of Saint Cornelius, Pope and Martyr, and Saint Cyprian, Bishop and Martyr

John 17:11b-19

Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and prayed, saying:

"Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me,

so that they may be one just as we are one.

When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me,

and I guarded them, and none of them was lost

except the son of destruction,

in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled."
