It is obvious that we are different — different looks, different languages, different cultures, different sexes, different status. The last prayer of Jesus for us is that we learn to move beyond those differences and find a more fundamental unity. Jesus prays that we will be “one.” That prayer serves as an invitation into the very life of the Trinity: “that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us.” Just as there are three distinct persons in the one God, our distinctions should not divide us from one another. According to the prayer of Jesus we should live so as to discover the fundamental unity which binds us no matter the differences.
