PRAYER Karl Rahner, in commenting on Jesus’ promise in John’s gospel that anything we ask for in his name will be given us, offers us this reflection: To ask for something in Jesus’ name does not mean that we invoke him verbally and then desire whatever our turbulent, divided heart or our appetite, our wretched mania for everything and anything, happens to hanker for. No, asking in Jesus’ name means entering into him, living by him, being one with him in love and faith. If he is in us by faith, in love, in grace, in his Spirit, then our petition arises from the center of our being, which is himself, and if all our petition and desire is gathered up and fused in him and his Spirit, then the Father hears us. Then our petition becomes simple and straightforward, harmonious, sober, and unpretentious. Then what St. Paul says in the letter to the Romans applies to us: we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us, praying the one prayer, “Abba! Father”! He longs for that from which the Spirit and Jesus himself have proceeded: he longs for God, he asks God for God, on our behalf he asks of God. Everything is included and contained in this prayer. … If we pray in this way, we shall see that God really answers our prayer, in one way or another. Then we shall no longer feel this “one way or the other” is a feeble excuse offered by the pious, and the gospel, for unanswered prayer. No. Our prayer is answered, but precisely because it is prayer in Jesus’ name; and what we ultimately pray for is for the Lord to grow in our lives, to fill our existence with himself, to triumph, to gather into one our scattered life, the thousand and one desires of which we are made. … To pray in Jesus’ name is to have one’s prayer answered, to receive God and God’s blessing, and then, even amid tears, even in pain, even in indigence, even when it seems that one has still not been heard, the heart rests in God, and that is—while we are still here on pilgrimage, far from the Lord—perfect joy.

Prayer for Catholic Education Week Loving God, your Spirit is present in the many voices in
our Queensland Catholic schools. May your Holy Spirit
unite us in faith, hope and love during Catholic
Education week and promote and uphold the
distinctive mission of Catholic
schooling. We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
First reading Genesis 18:20–32 Abraham negotiates with the Lord. Responsorial psalm Psalm 137(138):1–3, 6–8 R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me. Second reading Colossians 2:12–14 Christ has brought you to life with him and forgiven us all our sins. Gospel acclamation Romans 8:15bc You have received the Spirit which makes us God’s chil-dren, and in that Spirit we call God our Father. Gospel Luke 11:1–13 How to pray
The God of this gospel text is not a vague and distant God but one who is in an intimate relationship of love—that of a father. If ordinary parents know what is good for their children and want to give them all that is good, how much more will our Father in heaven give us what we need. Asking our Father for the things that we need (rather than the things we want) is an expression of our dependence on God. To ask is to place ourselves in a state of cooperation with God. We also have to commit ourselves to working towards that which we pray for or else prayer becomes a way of evading responsibility and we make God into some kind of Santa Claus.
REFLECTION
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
“What you leave in your children is more
important than what you leave to them.”
Prayer For Rain Almighty and everlasting God, you have given
us this earth to care for and delight in.
Look with mercy on our need for rain for our
parched land. We pray that life-giving rain will
soon fall. We pray for those suffering from the
severity of this drought—people working on the
land, and those in business who depend on
farming and grazing for their livelihoods.
Father, help them to know your love and care,
and to bring their burdens to you. Guide all
those who are seeking to provide help and bring
healing in the midst of so much pain. We ask
these things through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
So often we abuse this privilege of asking God for the things
we need. In what ways can this happen? In what ways can
we turn prayer and petition into something inappropriate?
Persistence is praised in this text. Have there been times
when you have felt like giving up on your journey? What has
kept you persevering?
