“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these,because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”
These are the last few lines of today’s Gospel. Read these lines more than once. Reflecting on these sentences I’m struck with their promise. Whatever I ask in his name he will do. Today I asked for an end to the Iraq War. I asked for an end to violence. I asked that all our people and all the citizens of Iraq could live in peace. I asked that there be no hostility with Iran. I asked that we experience the peace of Jesus Christ no matter what you worship. I ask God to bless not only America but all the world. I ask God to bless President Bush and all the leaders of the world. I ask God to bless those we would call enemy because we’re all made in the image of the most high. May God bless you and your family and all that you hold sacred. Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
