In his preparation discourse at the Last Supper, Jesus reminds us of his Father's love for us and assures us that our Good Father wants our heart to be filled with joy, and like a good parent knows what is best for us.
"Amen, men, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you." ( Jn 16: 23). Pretty clear and direct, though many times we have asked and not received, at least what we hoped to receive. As children learn, their parents hear their requests, but for reasons that only parents know, answer in a way that is best for the child, not necessarily for exactly what the child wants. The child accepts the answer but may not like it. We all need to learn to accepts our Father's oversight and broad picture, assured that his love for us will not deprive us of what is the best for us.
