Adoration Moment "As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his
physical life, so he must be born to lead a Divine Life.
That birth occurs in the Sacrament of Baptism. To
survive, he must be nourished by Divine Life; that is
done in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist." -
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time “Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” LUKE 11:9
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.
Welcome Visitors Thank you for visiting our church. If you are in the area
visiting friends or family, may your visit be joy-filled. We

we are so grateful for from all of our friends over these 100
years. A reception, with the gracious help of the Catholic
Daughters, will be held following the Mass. This liturgy can be
your Sunday obligation for the week.
ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!

Asked and Answered: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings:
Genesis 18:20–32
Psalm 138:1–3, 6–8
Colossians 2:12–14
Luke 11:1–13
Though we be “but dust and ashes,” we can presume to
draw near and speak boldly to our Lord, as Abraham dares
in this week’s First Reading.
But even Abraham—the friend of God (see Isaiah 41:8),
our father in the faith (see Romans 4:12)—did not know the
intimacy that we know as children of Abraham, heirs of the
blessings promised to his descendants (see Galatians 3:7, 29).
The mystery of prayer, as Jesus reveals to His disciples in this week’s Gospel, is the living
relationship of beloved sons and daughters with their heavenly Father. Our prayer is pure gift, made
possible by the “good gift” of the Father—the Holy Spirit of His Son. It is the fruit of the New Covenant
by which we are made children of God in Christ Jesus (see Galatians 4:6–7; Romans 8:15–16).
Through the Spirit given to us in Baptism, we can cry to Him as our Father—knowing that when we
call, He will answer.
Jesus teaches His disciples to persist in their prayer, as Abraham persisted in begging God’s mercy
for the innocent of Sodom and Gomorrah.
For the sake of the one just Man, Jesus, God spared the city of man from destruction (see Jeremiah
5:1; Isaiah 53), “obliterating the bond against us,” as Paul says in this week’s Epistle.
On the Cross, Jesus bore the guilt of us all, canceled the debt we owed to God, the death we
deserved to die for our transgressions. We pray as ones who have been spared, visited in our
affliction, saved from our enemies.
We pray always a prayer of thanksgiving, which is the literal meaning of the Eucharist. We have
realized the promise of this week’s Psalm: We worship in His holy temple, in the presence of angels,
hallowing His name.
In confidence we ask, knowing that we will receive, that He will bring to completion what He has done
for us—raising us from the dead, bringing us to everlasting life along with Him.
