IN THIS EPISODE 

Finding Joy after Grief by Closeness with God.

In John 16: 20, 22-24,  Christ prepares his disciples for the grief they will experience at the Crucifixion, reminding them-and us-that if we ask of God, we will receive, and experience profound joy.

WRITING PROMPT Whether you are experiencing a time of grief or not, write about 2-3 specific ways you feel close to the Lord in daily life through gratitude for the good gifts lavished upon you as a child of God. When we can distinguish the presence and action of the Lord in every created thing and through every circumstance, we experience a joy unknown to the world.
