Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Joys of Loving Jesus with His Father”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims to His disciples, “Anything you ask from My Father, He will grant in My Name, and your Joy will be complete. . . As My Father Loves you for loving Me.” Ponder on, “When we love Jesus, we are loving His Father, in the Holy Spirit, and our Joys will be deep, personal and lasting. How have you experienced this grace?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 16:23b-28
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘In all truth I tell you, anything you ask from the Father he will grant in my name. Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and so your joy will be complete. I have been telling you these things in veiled language. The hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language but tell you about the Father in plain words.
When that day comes you will ask in my name; and I do not say that I shall pray to the Father for you, because the Father himself loves you for loving me, and believing that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world and now I am leaving the world to go to the Father.’
