17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." This is a promise
that anyone would love to hear. With these words Jesus comforts and reassures us. He suggests that we will be
satisfied and welcomed and fulfilled. His message in today's Gospel assures us that our heavenly Father loves us
even more than earthly parents love their children. So we can enjoy the security of knowing that God will take
good care of us. But God's care may not always look exactly the way we expect it to. His care for us is based on
knowing what is best for us and what will make us flourish. And, sometimes, what we think we need isn't really
best. It's important to keep this context in mind. This prevents us from understanding Jesus' words today in a selfish way. As the end of the passage makes clear, this asking and seeking that Jesus refers to is ultimately fulfilled
in the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is promising us that if we ask God for his Spirit, he will certainly give it to us,
his children. For most of us, we actually received this gift at our baptism. But have we taken full advantage of
this? Although we may not realize it at first, in receiving the Holy Spirit we actually receive a whole host of gifts.
With God's Spirit come the sevenfold gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety, and
fear of the Lord. And the fruits of the Spirit as St. Paul lists them in Galatians 5 include love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. God knows that all of these gifts and fruits make us
very well equipped for life on earth, and for eternal life in heaven! What more do we really need to ask for?
17º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El domingo pasado se nos exhortaba acerca de la importancia de la hospitalidad, hoy se nos catequiza sobre la
oración y la forma de orar al Padre. Mejor dicho se nos dice cómo rezar, cómo aprender a hacerlo. La oración cristiana, es algo que debemos aprender, por eso la importancia de dejarnos dirigir por un guía espiritual y por la
comunidad que ora. Se aprende con proceso, con perseverancia y sobre todo con una rutina seria. La primera lectura nos pone de ejemplo a Abraham que insiste y persiste en la oración para interceder por Sodoma. Oración, temerosa y confiada, realizada por el diálogo entre Dios y Abraham. Oración, insistente, sin perder la esperanza en
obtener lo que se pide. "'No se enoje mi Señor, hablaré sólo una vez más, ¿y si se encuentran solo diez?' Contestó
el Señor: "Por esos diez, no destruiré la ciudad". En el Evangelio Jesús nos relata algo similar con la parábola del
amigo que llama con insistencia pidiendo ayuda. "Pidan y se les dará, busquen y encontrarán, toquen y se les
abrirá. Porque quien pide, recibe; quien busca, encuentra, y al que toca, se le abre". ¿Con qué confianza me acerco
al Señor? ¿Le pido con insistencia o me desanimo a las primeras de cambio? Debemos pedir sin desfallecer por
nuestras necesidades y las del mundo entero. Pidamos hoy a Jesús que nos enseñe a orar. Que él sea nuestro ejemplo y modelo a seguir. Padre Nuestro que estás en los cielos...

Sharing the Gospel
.When you search for something, God will help you find it. When you look for a birthday present
for your cousin, God may help you pick a good one. If you lose your lunch money, God may help you
find it. When you need a new friend, God may send one. Whatever you ask for, he will listen to
you. God does this for you because he loves you very much. Do you know how to pray? All you need
to do is talk to God. He is your loving Father. Tell him how you would like to make him happy. Ask
him to give you the things you really need. Ask him to help you forgive other people, just like he
forgives you. God loves you, so talk to him often.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for loving me and listening to me.
