Prayer Prompt before reading JN 14:6-14: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
IF YOU ASK ANYTHING OF ME IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT.” JN 14:6-14
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
“The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.” Jesus and the Creator are One with each other. If we believe this, “whoever believes in me will do the works that I do and will do greater than these”. Wow! If we believe we will do Jesus’s works and even greater. How can this be? ”And whatever you ask in my name, I will do”.
How many people have been baptized by the name of Jesus? All the faithful since His death and resurrection. How many sins have been forgiven through the name Jesus? All of them if we are repentant sinners. How many people have been healed through the anointing of the sick through Jesus? All who have asked in His name. How many have been confirmed in the Holy Spirit through His name? Everyone who the bishops have laid their hands on.
How many have been married through their vows in Jesus’s name? Every Christian marriage. How many have been ordained to the priesthood and religious life in Jesus’ s name? Everyone who has answered the call. How many miracles have been performed daily on the altars of the world through the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’s name? Countless. How many prayers are answered daily in Jesus’s name if it is God’s will? All of them.
”If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it”. Believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and all things are possible through God’s grace. May we daily have a resounding yes to God like Mary with complete trust and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Today’s challenge: Ask Jesus anything in His name, and He will do it for you, if it is the will of God. Can you accept His Will over yours? It requires trust, sacrifice, suffering, prayer and fasting. When is the last time you asked Jesus for a miracle?
Opportunities for grace: spend time with the annoying person, the person who is different than everyone else, the greatest sinner, the hardest person to get along with, pray even when you don’t have time, devote yourself to the rosary even when you are tired or busy, go to confession, go to Mass and receive the Eucharist, when suffering offer it up with Christ’s suffering and invite Him into your suffering-He knows all about it, go to practice/work when you don’t want to, be quiet in class even when it is hard, do your homework when it is hard and don’t cheat, go to Adoration and talk to Jesus like you are talking to your best friend then write down what He tells you in the silence, go back and look through that journal to see how Jesus is working in your life, pray, pray, pray some more and offer everything you have and are to Mary so she can purify it and joyfully give it to her Son.
Be a servant, be a saint today!
