The 17th
Sunday in Ordinary Time
“So
I (Jesus) say to you: ask and it will be given to you;
search and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you.” The greatest power
that we have is undoubtedly the power of prayer. And
unfortunately it’s a power that we don’t
use often enough. The three words that Jesus uses here
are dynamic words that have to involve us at a personal
level. Ask: to do this we have to decide what we are
really looking for in marriage and family life as well
as in our parish and then we have to be willing to invest
ourselves in it. Search: if what we are looking for
is important to us we will be willing to change to find
it and to change even more having found it. So many
people want everything but without any cost and this
is not the way of the Lord. Knock: God wants us to come
to him with confidence but then to abandon ourselves
into his hands, knowing that we will be well looked
after.
