This love does not spring from man himself, but whoever abides in the love of the Holy Trinity receives power, patience and love for others. Christ asked his Father to keep us in His fellowship, to be one with him always as the Son is one with his Father: This saying is not a dogmatic analysis or a theoretical description for our relation with God, rather Jesus’ farewell request was answered by the Father. Our faith is not arrogant or mystical; it is the fruit of Jesus’ prayer and his suffering for us.
Kristo alimwuliza Baba atutunze ndani ya ushirikiano wake, tuwe kitu kimoja naye daima jinsi Mwana alivyo mmoja na Baba: Tamko hilo siyo kuchanganua namna ya kushikilia kanuni au maelezo ya kimawazo juu ya uhusiano wetu na Mungu, lakini ndiyo haja ya Yesu wakati wa kuaga pamoja na jibu la Baba. Imani yetu sio ya kiburi au ya ki-fumbo, hapana; bali ni tunda la sala ya Yesu pamoja na mateso yake kwa ajili yetu.
