Gospel
Matthew 7:7-12
Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For the one who asks always receives; the one who searches always finds; the one who knocks will always have the door opened to him. Is there a man among you who would hand his son a stone when he asked for bread? Or would hand him a snake when he asked for a fish? If you, then, who are evil, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
‘So always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets.’
Reflection
Do God answer our prayers? The answer is yes. However the answer can be yes ,no and on hold Yes because God feels it is a good request. No means it will bring more harm. On hold means it is being considered. in this reading Christ expects us to continue to pray and put our trust in God
Let us pray
Lord Jesus may we put our complete trust in you for all our needs.
Amen
