YOU HAVE NOT ASKED

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.
