A Minute with the DeaconWhy do we end some prayers with “in the name of Jesus, amen”?In John’s gospel, Jesus says “…whatever you ask in My name, I will do, so that
the Father may be glorifi ed in the Son” (John 14:13). Jesus is telling us that we have access to God the Father through Him, because of His righteousness, not our own. Because of our sinfulness, we really don’t deserve to be heard by the Father, but Jesus does.
Praying in the “name of Jesus” refl ects two primary truths:• Jesus is our intercessor. When Jesus ascended into heaven He became our
intercessor, our advocate to God the Father. We acknowledge that our standing before the Father is not based on anything that we did; it is based on what Jesus did when He suff ered and died for us, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven.
• We submit to His will. Bishop Robert Barron in discussing the gospel of Friday of the Sixth Week of Easter (John 16:20-23) stated “Invoking the name of Jesus is an eff ective way to monitor the quality and to shape the content of our prayer… it is altogether consistent to pray in the name of Jesus for peace, for justice, for the forgiveness of our enemies, for greater faith, or for the health of those we love. Those are all goods that Jesus would want. But how anomalous [irregular] it would be to pray for vengeance against our enemies in Jesus’ name, or for a Maserati through Christ our Lord!” Our prayer needs to be in union with Christ.
So, when you end your prayer with “in the name of Jesus, amen” make sure you are praying for something that Jesus would also want. Then, the Father will hear that prayer and answer it in a way that is best for you.
