ANYTHING YOU ASK

PRAYER MOMENT

ANYTHING YOU ASK

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “I tell you most solemnly, anything you ask for from the Father he will grant in my name.” (John 16:23-28)

Reflection. As we approach the final week of the Easter season three interlocking themes dominate: the recurring mention of the Father and Jesus’ invitation to lead his friends into a relationship with him through the coming of the Spirit. And then there is the invitation to his disciples to respond though a habit of prayer, which, like breathing, is to be a constant way of keeping alive in the Spirit. We are invited to ponder this climax of the Easter message: Jesus invites us into the life of God through prayer and promises us “anything we ask.” Even what this means the Spirit will teach us.

   

Prayer. Lord, we ask to understand ever more deeply the message of Easter and what you are inviting us to live each day. Amen.
