Jesus said to his disciples:
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
whatever you ask the Father in my
name he will give you.
Until now you have not asked
anything in my name;
ask and you will receive, so that
your joy may be complete.

“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.
On that day you will ask in my name,
and I do not tell you that I will ask
the Father for you.
For the Father himself loves you,
because you have loved me
and have come to believe that I
came from God.
I came from the Father and have
come into the world.
Now I am leaving the world and
going back to the Father.”

John 16:23-28

Point for Reflection
What will you ask from the Father? How will this make your joy complete?
