John 17:13-15

John 17:13-15. And now come I to thee: and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

Either by death, or by shutting them up in monasteries, or causing them to dwell in caverns alone. "I do not pray for that." Do not take them out of the battle, but save them from the deadly arrow.

Help them to play the man, and win the victory, and not desert the colors.
