Today's gospel 
 *John 16: 23b-28*

*Reflection* 
We must never question God’s love for us because God’s is so loving that there is nothing he will not grant to complete our joy. Jesus is God in this manner, he too will grant us our desires if we call upon his name. We must include Jesus in our wishes for us to be open to the will of God. God will never abandon his children even if his children abandons him. He has eternal love for his creation.

*Prayer* 
Holy Lord, thank You for Your grace. You have blessed us with your love through Your child, Jesus Christ. Your love that has been our universal supply of strength in our daily lives. With Your love rested upon our hearts and minds, nourish our capabilities in order to proclaim joy and peace in this world You entrusted to us. Allow our perspective to be filled with the moments we value the most and let that be an instrument to be able to fulfill our responsibility to our brothers and sisters and especially to You, our Lord. Teach us, Your children, to practice being considerate to other people’s space and time. Show us the light we need in order to guide those who are still locked up and are anxious to surrender their hearts to You. We can achieve everything through Your name.
 *Amen*
