WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME I WILL DO

SATURDAY 4TH WEEK OF EASTER: Universalis

If you ask for anything in my name, I will do it

First Reading Acts 13:44-52 Since you have rejected the word of God, we must turn to the pagans

The next sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the word of God. When they saw the crowds, the Jews, prompted by jealousy, used blasphemies and contradicted everything Paul said. Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly. ‘We had to proclaim the word of God to you first, but since you have rejected it, since you do not think yourselves worthy of eternal life, we must turn to the pagans. For this is what the Lord commanded us to do when he said:

I have made you a light for the nations,

so that my salvation may reach the ends of the earth.’

It made the pagans very happy to hear this and they thanked the Lord for his message; all who were destined for eternal life became believers. Thus the word of the Lord spread through the whole countryside. 

But the Jews worked upon some of the devout women of the upper classes and the leading men of the city and persuaded them to turn against Paul and Barnabas and expel them from their territory. So they shook the dust from their feet in defiance and went off to Iconium; but the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

Responsorial Psalm: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Gospel John 14:7-14 To have seen me is to have seen the father

Jesus said to his disciples:

‘If you know me, you know my Father too. From this moment you know him and have seen him.’ 

Philip said, ‘Lord, let us see the Father and then we shall be satisfied.’  ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip,’ said Jesus to him, ‘and you still do not know me? 

‘To have seen me is to have seen the Father,  so how can you say, “Let us see the Father”? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak as from myself: it is the Father, living in me, who is doing this work. You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; believe it on the evidence of this work, if for no other reason. I tell you most solemnly, whoever believes in me will perform the same works as I do myself, he will perform even greater works, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask for in my name I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask for anything in my name, I will do it.’

My God, my father in heaven, you have called me to be light to all nations so that your salvation may reach the ends of the earth. Father I thank you for who am I that you count me worthy to reveal your glory. Father give my your Holy Spirit to instruct me. Your Spirit Father will give me full knowledge of your Son Jesus Christ.

Father I believe in you, I believe in Jesus Christ. I must believe in Jesus words for He said whatever I ask you Father in His Holy Name, He will do that you Father may be glorified in Him. Loving Father be glorified through Jesus Christ for He is your true image my God.

Jesus, I trust in you. Remember Lord you said if I ask for anything in your name, Lord you will do it. Jesus I ask for wisdom, knowledge and understanding. I ask for peace in our world. May God's Kingdom reign in our hearts and in our world. Let all the ends of the earth see the salvation  of our God.
