Begin with a prayer, offering this time to God and asking for ears to hear the Word of God anew.

- What struck you most forcefully?
- What surprised you?
Read John 13-21
Again, take 20-30 minutes to reflect on what you read. Use these questions and whatever means of capturing your thoughts you prefer:

- What surprised you?
- Have any of your thoughts changed?
- To what is Jesus calling you through this Gospel?
Close in prayer, giving thanks for the gift of the Gospel according to John and for Jesus, whom God gave to the world out of the depths of perfect love.
