PRAYER PAUSE

YOU HAVE NOT
ASKED
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Until now you have not asked for
anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and so your joy will be complte.”
(John 16:23-28).
Reflection. The farewell discourse in John
describes the inheritance Jesus is leaving to his friends and to the Church.
The Church of this century is ready for this message. We are aware that a basic
“conformity” to religious practice is
not enough. The door is open for far more. But to go through that door we need
to want and to ask. The great teahers of prayer tell us that desire is at the
heart of our journey to God. This is a time ripe for desire. People are thirsting
and yearning. And the Church is ready and able to satisfy that thirst if we ask
and search.
Prayer. Lord, help us to listen to the desire
of our heart and seek the way of coming to you. Amen.
