The attitude of faith comes from the knowledge that behind the actual reality there’s a spiritual dimension. That everything is not just what it seems, because Jesus says: « 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. » Jn 17:7-9
The real hope that we have is that Jesus prays for us because we are of the Father, given to Jesus.
Jesus was sent for us, so to save us. To break the bondage of sin in us that brings doubt and death. Many times we want to grasp things but as we push harder, the more it turns to be so difficult, as if drifting to a quicksand. The more we want to escape the worst it turn to be because it turn to be our trap.
Our savior prayers and asks the Holy Spirit to move in us and guide us. The Holy Spirit who speaks what He heard from the Son and the Father. The Holy Spirit will bring us to a new consciousness, the knowledge of God, the words of God, there salvation, the protection that the Father will offer through the Consoler, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity:
« 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.» Jn 17:10-12
