²⁰ Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn^(A) while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.^(B) 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain^(C) because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. ²² So with you: Now is your time of grief,^(D) but I will see you again^(E) and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.^(F) 23 In that day^(G) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.^(H) 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,^(I) and your joy will be complete.^(J)

Go with God, Family. Do not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Proclaim boldly and defend, with love, why you are a servant and disciple of our Lord and Redeemer.

In Christ Alone,

Rev. Marcia Davis
