So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and
no one will take your joy away. On 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. Until
now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy
may be complete.
Psalm 138: 1-2ab; 2cde-3; 7c-8
I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;
before the gods to you I sing

you strengthened my spirit.
You stretch out your hand;
your right hand saves me
The Lord is with me to the end.
Lord, your love endures forever.
Never forsake the work of your hands!

go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will

him to you. And when he comes he will
convict the world in regard to sin and
righteousness and condemnation: sin,
because they do not believe me; right-
