Readings for the 17th Sunday of the Year (C)
1st Reading: Abraham bargains and barters with God ....a symbol of intercessory prayer
Responsorial Psalm: When we call, God answers
Gospel: "Call, and you will be answered" (Jesus)
Reflection
- Pope Francis:
Sometimes one goes to the Lord “to ask
something for someone;” one asks for a favor and then goes away. But that
is not prayer, because if you want the
Lord to bestow a grace, you have to go with courage and do what Abraham did,
with that sort of tenacity. Remember how Jesus himself tells us that we must
pray as the widow with the judge, like the man who goes in the middle of the
night to knock on his friend’s door. With tenacity. - Full
text of Pope's words
Prayer:
Jesus, please give me more faith, more
courage, more tenacity when I pray!
