Read It:
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which one of you would hand his son a stone
when he asked for a loaf of bread,
or a snake when he asked for a fish?
If you then, who are wicked,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your heavenly Father give good things
to those who ask him.

“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.
This is the law and the prophets.”

Reflect on It: Today's gospel is about boldness! The Lord of the universe wants to lavish love on us...he wants us to be bold enough to ask for the things that we need, the things we desire. He will give them to us. Ask you will be given, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you! Sweet Jesus wants to lavish you with love, will you let him?

Pray about It: Lord, you know what I need and what is good for me. Help me to ask for those things only and help me to see when you are lavishing me goodness and these things! I love you! Amen.
