The Lord will open the door at the right time!
Today, our Lord teaches us to be persistent in prayer. Let us spend some time applying this principle here and now. We will use St. Luke’s Gospel 11:1-13, and we will concentrate on
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Luke 11:10
We must be persistent in what we want in life, but it must follow the Law of Love. For what we want to be accomplished it must be part of God’s Will!
We find God’s Will in Jesus Christ! God became one of us so that we could be more like God.
Hence, what we want must be in sink with that which would make the world a better place.
It is important to evaluate our desires according to love. For example, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta desired to love those who were not treated with love. Her prayerful actions started a worldwide movement. Or, let us look at the Little Flower, St. Thérèse, who from her monastery, died at 24 years of age, transformed spirituality in her Little Way. There are many more examples and in our little way can make a big difference in someone’s life!
Be persistent in prayer! Keep knocking on the Divine Door! The Divine One will open the door when it is the Divine Time!
Be blest and be a blessing!
