New to the Parish, we welcome you!!Pastor’s Weekly Reflection!
Prayer is the most effective way to bring our needs to
the attention of the Almighty. In our prayers we bring
to God our earnest heartʼs desires: Our families,
children, jobs and indeed our entire lifeʼs projects. But
we also offer prayers for the needs of others as we see
in the petitions of Abraham in the first reading and
most importantly in the prayer that Jesus taught His
disciples. While it is wonderful to pray for ourselves it
is extraordinary to intercede for others. For the sake of
his people, Abraham would entreat God relentlessly
for mercy; even though there was not much in it for
him. In the Our Father, phrases like: ‘Give us, forgive
usʼ go to highlight the communal dimension and
significance of prayer which makes it not just a
petition for me individually but also, as importantly,
for the needs of our neighbors. It may sound
disappointing that despite Abrahamʼs relentlessness
God still did as He pleased. The Lesson therein is that
our prayers do not necessarily force Godʼs hands. They
do well in bringing our desires to Him who knows all
things and always acts in our best interests. Ultimately
though, we have not started praying well until we
have learnt to say ‘Thy Will Be Doneʼ. This is the single
most important article of that most extraordinary
prayers that at the end of the day we are able to
surrender our wills to the will of God as we say: Thy
Will Be Done!!
HE WHO SINGS PRAYS TWICE�St. Augustine�
