5/19/2023 (Friday) Today’s gospel reading: John 16:20-23
20 Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman, when she is in labour, has sorrow because her hour has arrived; but when she has brought forth the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world.
22 So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
23 And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
