Journeying with Jesus (The Gospel of John)

About the Programme

The Gospel of John is the mystical Gospel that describes the inner mystical journey of Jesus. In the Gospel Jesus invites us to enter into the same inner journey. During these sessions we shall reflect over the stages of this spiritual journey of Jesus and meditatively pursue the inward steps.

There will be two reflection sessions and two meditations in the morning as well as in the afternoon.

Father, may they be one in us, as you are in me and I am in you, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me .I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me, may they be so completely one that the world will realize that it was you who sent me and that I have loved them as much as you loved me. – John 17:21-23
