For everyone who asks…

“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.” (MT 7: 7-8)

We are told to ask, to seek and to knock. All these gestures show our concern and show that we are in need and we really, sometimes desperately, need something. All these gestures also show that we know where to go and Whom we should ask and show that we are in relationship with Our Lord, Who has answers and loves to answer—“for everyone … receives, finds… and door will be opened.”

“A clean heart create for me, God; give me back the joy of your salvation.” (Gospel Acclamation)
