Why
doesn’t God always answer my
prayers?
The
Bible tells us that if we trust God, we
will always get what we need and much of
what we want, too (Matthew 6:25-33). But
what we ask may not always be in our best
interests or in harmony with God’s
will. That’s why it may feel like
you’ve gotten a
“no.”
There’s
no magic formula to always get what we
want. But you can make sure what you ask
is more in keeping with God’s will.
For example, you can strengthen your
friendship with God: “If you
remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask for whatever you want and it will be
done for you” -John 15:7. Daily
prayer is the key to building that
friendship.
Also,
unconfessed sin creates static in the
connection to God. The sacrament of
Reconciliation and Penance helps to clear
that line. In Psalm 32, David said that
his life was miserable when he avoided
responsibility for his sin, as soon as he
confessed it, God answered his
prayers.
Reflections
GOSPEL:
Luke 24:13-35
As two downhearted disciples journey to
Emmaus, a stranger joins them. To him they
pour out all their crushed hopes about
Jesus who has been crucified and whom they
miss so much. After listening carefully to
their story, the stranger tells them that
they are slow to “believe all that
the prophets have announced.” He then
explains the Scripture to
them.
The
disciples are delighted with the
stranger’s teaching. But they do not
realize that the stranger is Jesus until
he takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and
gives it to them. At Mass the priest does
this very same thing today. At Mass we too
meet Jesus along the road of our lives,
and Jesus gives himself to us through
these very actions.
1.) Our
friends can either lead us to walk with
Jesus or to walk away from him. How do you
support and help your friends in walking
with Jesus? How do they support and help
you?
2.) How
do you show that you, too, recognize Jesus
in the breaking of the bread at the
celebration of the
Eucharist?
