So that your joy may be complete

“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)

When we ask, we show that we believe and respect Our Father. We pray, we adore, we listen to Him and we give thanks because we are His beloved children, and we receive more than we ask. Our Lord is happy to listen to our prayers and answer when we ask because He desires “that our joy may be complete.”

“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)
