Week-At-A-Glance Sun Jul 28, 6:15 pm, SHC………………….Baptism Interviews Thu Aug 1, 7 pm, SJH……………………Men’s Prayer Service Fri Aug 2, SHC……………………..........Eucharistic Adoration Sat Aug 3, 8 am, SHH……………………...Guadalupanas Mtg. Sun Aug 4, 12:30 pm, SPC…………………Guadalupanas Mtg. Jesus assures us that if we ask, God will take care of what we need. The problem is that our culture often confuses what we really need with what we simply want. Many people need very little. However, we usually want so much more. A good steward only asks God for what he needs. Jesús nos asegura que si pedimos, Dios cuidará de lo que necesitamos. El problema es que nuestra cultura a menudo confunde lo que realmente necesitamos con lo que simplemente queremos. Muchas personas necesitan muy poco. Sin embargo, solemos querer mucho más. Un buen administrador solo le pide a Dios lo que necesita.

ASKING FOR HELP The Beatitudes praise the poor in spirit. One characteristic of those who are poor in spirit is their ability to ask for help; they know when others can provide what they lack. Today’s readings encourage us to practice poverty in spirit by asking God for what we need. What could be more natural than to ask God for good things? God is, after all, the inventor of goodness and the giver of all good things. Asking God for help puts us in conversation with God. These conversations take many forms. The reading from Genesis shows Abraham bantering with God like a skilled negotiator, while Saint Paul’s letter to the Colossians praises God for answering us even when we don’t deserve it. In Saint Luke’s Gospel, Jesus not only gives us words to use in our conversations with God (the Our Father), but also promises that God always listens to our prayers. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
