Greetings on this the Saturday of the Sixth Week of Easter
Readings: Acts 18:23-28; Psalm 47:2-3, 8-9, 10; John 16:23b-28
Summary
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
Reflection
Today is the last day before the celebration of the Ascension of the Lord.
He ascends with our deepest desires, our prayers and our hopes. Then, seated at the Right Hand of the Father, brings the divine relief, specific and real.
Personal Reflection
For king of all the earth is God;
sing hymns of praise.
God reigns over the nations,
God sits upon his holy throne.
Share with the Father your deepest desire. Like Apollos in our first reading today, he knew the Baptism of John. He spoke up and got the help he needed to know more fully the Lord, and the Way. Speak up. The Lord knows what you need, it is we who need to sift through all we think we need to get to our deepest desire.
