Dear Parishioners,
The themes of the First and the Gospel readings this Sunday is prayer. In the First reading Abraham pleads with God on behalf of the people of Sodom. He bargains with God to save the good people in Sodom. The story lets us know the importance of intercessory prayers and the mercy of God. This opens the way to the Lord's prayer, the model of all prayer in the gospel of Luke. Jesus says, "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you." Jesus is asking us to have recourse to God with confidence and persistence. And, God will answer all our prayers.
Yours Sincerely,
Fr. Jose Shaji, Pastor
