Monday, Easter Wk 2: "As they prayed, the place where they were gathered shook"

and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

Jesus also prays for us - in our place and on our behalf. All our petitions were gathered up, once for all, in his cry on the Cross and, in his Resurrection, heard by the Father. This is why he never ceases to intercede for us with the Father. If our prayer is resolutely united with that of Jesus, in trust and boldness as children, we obtain all that we ask in his name, even more than any particular thing: the Holy Spirit himself, who contains all gifts.
-- CCC 2741
