Ask and you will receive

“Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.’” (JN 16: 23-24)

“Ask the Father in my name” and “He will give you.” Every father loves to be asked by his children because when we ask, we show our love and trust and that we expect from him all the best and that we depend on him. The joy which is at the end of asking is connected with relationship; there is no greater joy than to be important to someone.

“I came from the Father and have come into the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” (Gospel Acclamation)
