Wealth and love is hidden in prayer

We have already talked a lot about prayer, we have thought, and we can say that we also pray regularly, and we want to be focused on prayer. And yet, even today, we can talk about prayer because the Lord Jesus Himself wants to talk about it. Jesus tells the disciples, “Ask, and ye shall receive that your joy may be complete” (Jn 16:24).

We know that after one conversation with his Father, Jesus was approached by the apostles to teach them to pray. Then he taught them the prayer we call the Father and which we consider to be the most beautiful because the Lord Jesus Himself taught us. Today, however, he warns us as our brothers and sisters to use his friendship with us and to ask in his name, his and our heavenly Father’s. It’s like when our good friend tells us, “Don’t worry, just go and say I’m sending you.”

Through His Passion and Death, Jesus received a new source of gifts and graces from us from the Father. Jesus wants us, in his name, to address our common Father directly. This process wants us to realize the prominent position we have received through his torture and death, that we can turn directly to our Father and receive what we ask for, precisely for the merits of Jesus Christ. We will feel even happier in such a process. Jesus encourages us, even more, to successfully act and hear our needs with our Father as he remarks, “In 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 ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God “(Jn 16: 26-27).

This is how we got the address directly on the body. It is up to each of us to take this great opportunity to gain grace and love for ourselves and the world. The Lord Jesus, in His love for us, longs for us to ask in prayer and for our meetings in this conversation to be frequent as the apostle emphasizes: “Brethren, pray without ceasing!”

This is a wonderful trust for us to have such an immediate encounter with God, who not only created all this around us and within us but also controls it. We will make the best use of it because it matters a lot, even for the most serious meeting in our lives, at the hour of death. Nevertheless, even this meeting can be begged here on earth to be a meeting of those who were truly in love, who longed for themselves. God has done everything to learn to ask, thanks, ask, and find time in our lives here on earth to glorify our God.
Let us realize that our prayers will gain value, and our meeting with Jesus will be transformed into fruitful dialogue, a conversation between two lovers – God and man. We can only leave such a meeting happy and enriched, which cannot be compared to anything from the wealth and beauty of this world. Jesus will give us everything that will benefit our salvation when we find the time and meet it in prayer.

Therefore, let us thank the Lord Jesus for a new invitation to talk to him. After all, we understand that our God is still near us. We don’t have to go to a special place; we don’t have to stand in line, we don’t need protection. He is just waiting for us when we find the time. He does not need our prayers. He wants us and again only to bless, strengthen and fill us with His peace, love, and especially grace.
