Why Don't We Hear About this Prayer at the Last Supper? - Fr. Chris Alar | 5/21/26

from Homilies from the National Shrine · host The Marian Fathers

The Readings for Today's Homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/reading...Father Chris Alar, MIC, reflects on John 17, the high priestly prayer of Jesus, the longest prayer of Christ on earth and one of the greatest chapters in Scripture. At the Last Supper, Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples, and the whole Church, consecrating Himself as the Victim who will offer everything on the Cross. In this prayer, He reveals the love of the Trinity, the mystery of the Eucharist, the priesthood, salvation, sanctification, and our call to intimacy with God. ★ Support this podcast ★
