Reflection on the Gospel Staying with the important theme of prayer, this week’s extract from Luke brings the teaching on prayer that accompanied the giving of the Our Father. In Luke, Jesus teaches this prayer because the disciples have asked for his help. The form of the prayer is the short one, as opposed to the longer version in Matthew which was adopted by the church as the version for use in the liturgy. In its short form we see even more clearly how this simple prayer has all that we need. We praise God as Father, we acknowledge that we want what he wants and that we trust him to look after us. We also recognise our need for forgiveness and our willingness to forgive. Finally we ask that in the life of faith we will not have to endure anything that would cause us to lose that faith. In what follows, Jesus uses the images of the unwilling friend and the caring parent to make us think about the relationship with God that should lie behind our prayer. God is the loving Father and in giving us the Holy Spirit he is holding back nothing.

[Following from the above it is clear that]

“Today’s gospel is about prayer and in it Jesus

encourages his followers to persevere in prayer

and not to lose heart. The unanswered request

and the door that remains shut are not unusual

experiences for people who pray. Indeed we can

be left wondering why our prayers are not

answered. Is it because we lack faith or worse

still because of our sins? At such times we need

to remember that Christian prayer is not about

magic nor is it an elaborate heavenly lottery.

Being baptised means that we share in the dying

and rising of Christ, not just once but many times

on our way home to the Father. Prayer teaches

us about what is really important and, while it

does not always take away our pain, through it

we can come to understand a little better how

and where God is at work in our lives.

Poor banished children of Eve; To thee do we send up our sighs, Mourning and weeping in this valley

Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Sweet Sacrament of rest, ark from the ocean's roar, within thy shelter blest soon may we reach the shore; save us, for still the tempest raves, save, lest we sink beneath the waves: sweet Sacrament of rest. 4. Sweet Sacrament divine, earth's light and jubilee, in thy far depths doth shine the Godhead's majesty; sweet light, so shine on us, we pray that earthly joys may fade away: sweet Sacrament divine.
