 Gospel Mt 7: 7-12



Reflections

Jesus tell us ‘Ask….search….knock.... When we pray in this way we are opening ourselves to God’s purpose and plan for our lives. Even if our prayer of petition is not answered in the way we had hoped at the time, remember that our lives will be touched by God’s presence and we will be stronger in our prayer. We need to trust in God and keep on asking, searching, knocking and trusting, knowing that in doing so we are giving God the space to work in our lives. More than anything else we are invited to search for, to hunger and thirst for, what God wants. If we keep searching for that, if we keep asking for it, today’s gospel reading assures us that our search will not be in vain because good things from God will always come to us when we pray, because in prayer we allow ourselves to be touched by God’s grace.

And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Christ? But we know where he is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.   Reflection:  In today’s gospel we find J...
