Catechism of the Catholic Church (Second Edition) PART FOUR – CHRISTIAN PRAYER SECTION ONE – PRAYER IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE CHAPTER ONE – THE REVELATION OF PRAYER 2614 When Jesus openly entrusts to his disciples the mystery of prayer to the Father, he reveals to them what their prayer and ours must be, once he has returned to the Father in his glorified humanity. What is new is to "ask in his name."78 Faith in the Son introduces the disciples into the knowledge of the Father, because Jesus is "the way, and the truth, and the life."79 Faith bears its fruit in love: it means keeping the word and the commandments of Jesus, it means abiding with him in the Father who, in him, so loves us that he abides with us. In this new covenant the certitude that our petitions will be heard is founded on the prayer of Jesus.80 78 Jn. 14:13 13And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 79 Jn. 14:6 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 80 Cf. Jn. 14:13-14 13And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. 2615 Even more, what the Father gives us when our prayer is united with that of Jesus is "another Counselor, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth."81 This new dimension of prayer and of its circumstances is displayed throughout the farewell discourse.82 In the Holy Spirit, Christian prayer is a communion of love with the Father, not only through Christ but also in him: "Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full."83 81 Jn. 14:16-17 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, 17 the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you. 82 Cf. Jn. 14:23-26, 15:7, 15; 16:13-15, 16:23-27 23Jesus answered and said to him, "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me. 25"I have told you this while I am with you. 26The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name - he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you. ... 15:7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you., 15I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. ... 16:13But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. 14He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. 15Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason, I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. ... 16:23On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. 24Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. 25"I have told you this in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but I will tell you clearly about the Father. 26On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you. 27For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have come to believe that I came from God. 24 83 Jn. 16:24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
