The Fifth Sunday In Lent
O Almighty God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men: Grant unto thy people that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Gospel of John is a unique book of the Bible. Not only is it different from the other three canonical gospels, but it is also set apart as the most “philosophical” book of the scriptures. Yet at the end of the day, it is still about Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Mary. So what does “In the beginning was the Word” tell us about the Jesus who walked on earth, touched and healed those who were ill, and held children in his arms? The task of these classes, presented by guest lecturer Matthew Knotts, is to orient us to the gospel of John and what it can teach us about God, his relationship to us, and our relating to him—that is, prayer.
In the second lecture, we’ll take a look at the concept of prayer in John, but here with a twist. In particular, we’ll consider Christ’s ‚ÄúHigh Priestly Prayer.‚Äù This is a unique passage, as Jesus is depicted as speaking not to his followers, but rather to God the Father himself. Hence we are afforded a fleeting if intimate glimpse of the inner life of the Trinity. John is doing something very interesting, as he is depicting Christ as praying. What does this passage teach us about prayer?
