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.
