Lord Jesus, great teacher and source of wisdom, as you intercede for us before the throne of heaven, may we find ourselves with you and recognize your presence and works, that we would learn from you as we live and pray with you, growing to understand your ways and becoming ever more like you, through you who with the Father and Holy Spirit are one God, world without end. Amen. ‘Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.’ – Luke 9:28
