When we walk through nature after these days of May, we will have more than one beautiful view of flowering meadows. Although there is not just one type of flower in the meadow, they are not just one color, yet we feel a wonderful beauty when we look at the flowers. From this perspective, a person can take away an experience that will strengthen him in his life. And in such an experience, looking at a flowering meadow, we feel that all this together forms a unity. There is nothing for ourselves, and our mind will quietly recognize at that moment that in that beauty, the power that flows from it, in this unity of colors to feel one goal, and that is to love God, to glorify him, to worship him. When the beauty of nature brings us to these ideas, we should think more about the words of the gospel today.

Jesus prayed, “Well, I ask not only for them, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that all may be one, as you, Father, in me and me in you …” (Jn 17: 20- 21).

These are the closing words of the Lord’s Last Lord’s Prayer to His and our Father. The Lord Jesus turns to His Father in a wonderful prayer at the end of the Last Supper to the apostles, when He left them great gifts: Holy Mass, the Sacrament of the Altar, and the Sacrament of the Priesthood. He’s going to the Mount of Olives. What is actually hidden in these words? What lies so much in the heart of Christ shortly before his death?
These are words in which we can find a value that cannot be replaced. We learn about the great love that Jesus has for all people, about his request to the Father to allow him to carry out his plan of love, which has enriched the whole world. Right at the beginning of our prayer, we hear that he asks not only for his apostles who have been partakers of the Last Supper but also for all who will believe in the apostles’ words and thus in him. The Lord Jesus asks for all the people who, by the end of the world, intoxicated with hearing God’s word, will believe that he is the Son of God. He thought of us then. He asked for this in that difficult moment: “… that all may be one …” (Jn 17:21). As if to say that the greater the danger to believers, the more alive and stronger their faith.

Jesus knew of the difficulties that awaited his faithful. In a few words, the Lord Jesus gives a pattern, a guide to the effect of maintaining unity, always sought and never perfectly achieved. The unity that is to take place between us is to be similar to the unity that is found between the Father and the Son of God: “… as you, O Father, are in me and me in you …” (Jn 17:21).
Can we imagine a perfect harmony, a harmony than between the Father and the Son? Unity is the essence of the prayer of Jesus’ prayer that there may be a similar unity between us as it is between the Son and the Father.

In the next part of the prayer, the Lord Jesus asks, “… that the world may know that thou hast sent me and that thou loves them as thou loves me” (Jn 17:23). With this prayer, the Lord Jesus first wanted to tell us how glad it is as much love as the Father loves him. We also know from Jesus’ words that the Father hears his request: “… that all may be one …” (Jn 17:21). At the same time, Jesus says how it will happen. It will be in a show of love for each other. “I have declared your name to them, and I will declare that the love with which you love me may be in them and that I may be in them” (Jn 17:26).
Thus, we understand that unity is a consequence of our faith in Christ that man alone would not achieve it by his strength. Unity is a gift from God to beg for through the Holy Spirit. Then not only the world but also ourselves will find that it pays to work with God. This prayer does not only enclose the elect in their value because Jesus is interested in all people to be enriched in connection with him. Jesus wants everyone to reach that place once: “… they were with me where I am, that they might see my glory which thou gravest me …” (Jn 17:24).
we see these words carried out in St. To Stephen when he is stoning, he cries out, “I see or open and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.”
The will of the Lord Jesus was fulfilled on Stephen. It was filled with the Holy Spirit, through whom he sees and understands something. He is already happy; he knows that Jesus is waiting for him. And in this love, too, Stephen desires, thus expressing the unity that Jesus’ prayer says: “Lord, do not count this sin against them” (Acts 7:60). so, that love may prevail, and therefore unity, and once they may come to a place which is a reward for those who strive for unity in love.The end of Jesus’ prayer says that the world does not yet know the Father. Jesus still introduces him to the world, what after his resurrection he will do.
Stephen’s prayer is similar to the prayer of the Lord Jesus. They ask for unity imbued with love: Lord, do not count this sin against them. Is it better to express the love that Stephen had for Christ when he prays for his murderers?

Stephen’s behavior is a wonderful address and example for us. Not only did Stephen know the purpose of Jesus’ prayer for unity and love among us, but he also put it into practice at the most difficult moment of his life. He prayed for unity. Today we feel that it is a wonderful reinforcement for us, and we see something beautiful in it when a person loves even at the hour of his death. He murderers and wishes that they too would dwell with him once and for all.

When we watch humanity today, we find that it has never longed for unity and peace as it does today. Although he based callousness, hatred, indifference, but also others want to take over the world. However, goodwill is also growing.
We see this in sport, where racial discrimination is eliminated, and in other actions, the nation is trying to help the nation from terrible catalysis. Let’s remember Armenia, the drought in Africa … The world seems to be maturing spiritually, even though it’s slow. The world seemed to awaken its conscience and human dignity. The Church also constantly seeks, through the words of the Holy Father and the prayers of the faithful, to fulfill the prayer of Christ: “… that all may be one …” (Jn 17:21).

After the last war in the Italian city of Cella di Varci, a church was built on the ruins of ruined churches around the world. In 1952, the local pastor turned to mayors, bishops, and priests worldwide to send material to this church. He received 60 responses. There was material from Poland, Japan. The church had the name: Church of the Brotherhood. The altar is from the demolished church of Hiroshima. It is decorated with a cross, which is made of weapons, bayonets, and knives. There is a crown of thorns from the wire of the Auschwitz concentration camp, and the halo forms a kind of ring that they used to torture in the Congo. The church says clearly: Unity must prevail among us! Because only unity brings love, and love is a force that has its goal. That goal is stunning: eternal bliss, life without end, eternal life … For us, it means knowing to forgive, forgetting, learning to apologize, knowing to open a fist, holding back the word, filling our minds with love. The view of us humans is similar to a flowering meadow. We are all different; color, nature, education, ideology, age, gender, but we should all be filled with the idea of ​​unity because there is strength in unity, and beauty is born from it.
