“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, that your joy may be complete.” John 16:23-24. St. John
Chrysostom said, “Thus abide constantly with the name of our Lord Jesus Christ so that the heart
swallows the Lord and the Lord the heart, and the two become one.” Let us pray, My Lord, You
taught a whole new way of praying. No one had ever prayed in Your Name before, and now You
say – pray in my Name, ask in my Name! Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask for deeper faith –
in the Eucharist, in the sacrament of Penance, and a deeper love for Our Mother Mary. Amen.
“Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
