Text Box: WHEN WE RECEIVE FROM GOD THAT WHICH WE PROPERLY REQUEST WE RECEIVE FROM THE BLESSED TRINITY
And that provides us with a slight insight to there being but one God, yet three Divine Persons, yet also the  oneness of God.

Read carefully from Saint John:

14:13. Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

So, if you ask the Father in the name of Jesus, then Jesus will do it.

14:14. If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.

And if you ask Jesus in His own name, then He will do it.

14:26. But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.

And the Holy Ghost is the “activator,” mentor, and advocate. The one who “pleads our case”?

15:16. You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

The WHY we will receive is now explained. The conditions for reception as well. And the Father is the One who gives what is requested.

16:23. And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen, I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.

Therefore, when we are developed (in or to a level of Holiness?) we will not ask of Christ but will ask of the Father being one in union with Christ and Text Box: asking in the name of Christ and the Father will give.

16:24. Hitherto, you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.

Being unschooled and being spiritual neophytes we knew not that for which to ask and when we did ask did not receive for we requested that for which we had no right to request. But now know, and so requesting will receive - from the Blessed Trinity.

16:26. In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you.

For in that day we will be in union, as Christ and the Father are one, and we in Christ, and God in us - well, those who attain union.

Now read, carefully, from the Apocalypse.

2:3. And thou hast patience and hast endured for my name and hast not fainted.

2:13. I know where thou dwellest, where the seat of Satan is. And thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

3:8. I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word and hast not denied my name.

And this is who we must be to attain that union.

Hopefully this makes sense.
