Wednesday of Fifth Week of Easter

Taking the Gospel to Prayer

Today's Gospel is a repeat of Sunday's text. This time, let us take the end of the passage to prayer.

"If you remain in me and my words remain in you,

ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.

By this is my Father glorified,

that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”

Does it sometimes feel like your prayer is unanswered? Yet, Jesus has promised us that we will be answered if we remain faithful. So the question arises: Is the prayer really unanswered or is the answer a path to help us give glory to the Father and become better disciples?

Loving God, thank you for hearing my prayers. Help me to cooperate with the plan that you have for me. Give me the grace I need to show Your love to the world.



Lord Jesus, help me to grow closer to You today.
