| | ASK! “… Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.” – John 16:24 “Lord, you know what I need. I will receive anything you have for me. Amen.” Sounds like a humble, good prayer, right? But notice that Jesus repeats this tip — this secret — to us many times. Ask. Ask. Ask. He even assures us that we will receive. “Ask… so that your happiness may be complete.” “Ask in my name… and it shall be done.” Notice, too, that Jesus would even specifically ask those whom He would heal, “What do you want me to do for you? Do you want to get healed?” And what would you answer if Jesus asks you these questions? “No, thank you. Thanks for your offer but I’m OK.” Wow! You must be a candidate for the mental institution if you answer this way. I have a son and I regularly ask him what he wants. If it is good for him, I give it. I love him. I want his happiness to be complete. Now what are you waiting for? REFLECTION: Do you tell Jesus specifically what you want Him to do for you? Tell Him now. He is waiting. Lord Jesus, I ask (say your specific need). Thank You for making my happiness complete. In Your name. Amen. | |

| | COMPANION | 1st READING If the Church is going to be successful in bringing the Gospel to the ends of the earth, it is going to take a team effort. We cannot afford to fight with one another as this is a complete and utter waste of our energies and resources. That would make the devil’s task so much easier. Let us seek to avoid conflicts and any unnecessary disagreements. A house divided cannot stand. Acts 18:23-28 23 After staying there some time, Paul left and traveled in orderly sequence through the Galatian country and Phrygia, bringing strength to all the disciples. 24 A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent speaker, arrived in Ephesus. He was an authority on the scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the Way of the Lord and, with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the Way of God more accurately. 27 And when he wanted to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. After his arrival he gave great assistance to those who had come to believe through grace. 28 He vigorously refuted the Jews in public, establishing from the scriptures that the Christ is Jesus. P S A L M Psalm 47:2-3, 8-9, 10 R: God is king of all the earth. 1 [2] All you peoples, clap your hands, shout to God with cries of gladness, 2 [3] for the LORD, the Most High, the awesome, is the great king over all the earth. (R) 7 [8] For the king of all the earth is God; sing hymns of praise. 8 [9] God reigns over the nations, God sits upon his holy throne. (R) 9 [10] The princes of the peoples are gathered together with the people of the God of Abraham. For God’s are the guardians of the earth; He is supreme. (R) G O S P E L Jesus is the only one who has descended from heaven and thus is the only one who can authoritatively reveal to us the Father. In the Old Testament, people ascend to heaven but no one ever comes from heaven with knowledge of the Father. Jesus reveals to us the life of God, the true nature of our humanity (by being a man) and how we are destined for a life of glory in union with the Trinity. John 16:23b-28 23 Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. 24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. 25 “I have told you this in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but I will tell you clearly about the Father. 26 On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you. 27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have come to believe that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” my reflections t h i n k : W e cannot afford to fight with one another as this is a complete and utter waste of our energies. _________________________________________________________

| | SABBATH | NOTHING YET IN HIS NAME Anything we ask the Father in Jesus’ name the Father will grant us, Jesus said. Anything? Yes, anything on which the name of Jesus can be invoked. That rules out every evil thing because anything evil cannot be positively related to Jesus. It is very disturbing, therefore, when Jesus said in the Gospel today, “Until now you have not asked for anything in My name.” But, have we not been praying in His name ever since we learned how to pray? Or did we really learn how to pray? Better yet, do we really pray the way we should? It is understandable that when Jesus first uttered that disturbing statement, He might have literally meant that His disciples were not yet praying in His name. They gradually had to grow in the faith that Jesus is the Son of God whose mediation is unique and unparallel. But what about us? Can it be true that we have not asked anything in His name? The answer to this disturbing question lies in what we pray for as well as in how we pray. What do we really pray for? It is not that we pray for bad things. It is rather that indeed we pray for good things, but the good is never the better and the better is not yet the best. The best is what the Father wishes to give us even as we pray only for the good. Thus, sometimes the Father does not grant us what we pray for – even if it is prayed in Jesus’ name – so that our desire may grow until we learn to ask for the best. Let us pray with Jesus, not only through and in the name of Jesus. When we learn the spiritual art of praying with Jesus, we learn to ask for the best. And when all is said and done, there is only one best: the Father’s will.Fr. Bobby Titco Reflection Question: Asking the Father in Jesus’ name is praying with Jesus, not only through and in the name of Jesus. Lord Jesus, teach us to pray to the Father in Your name. Pray with us and make Your prayer ours. Amen. St. Hallvard, pray for us. | |
