Watch and listen on YouTube or simply listen to the audio podcast. To share this prayer meditation, copy the Share link below. Introduction by Fr. MichaelWelcome to the Fourth Week of Easter in our Season of Joy series. So often, when we begin to pray, our first instinct is to turn inward—to bring before God our own needs, our struggles, our hopes. There is nothing wrong with this. It is natural. It is human. And God welcomes it. Today, Fr. Sean Grismer reminds us that God chose us, and not the other way around. John 15:16 (as read by Fr. Sean) You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, He may give it to you. This is the grace of the Fourth Week of Easter: As you enter these meditations, allow your prayer to unfold… And in that unfolding, may you discover the deep and abiding joy of the Risen Christ! 2nd Meditation by Fr. Sean Grismer
