[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus gives us this assurance about answered
prayer: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name
he will give you.”*
*If God cannot change, what is the point of asking him for anything? And if
God is omniscient, what is the point of telling him what you need? The same
Jesus who told us to ask and ask again also informed us that God “knows
what you need before you ask him.”*
One way to shed light on this problem is to *refer to the biblical
master-metaphor *f*or God—namely, the parent*. *Parents hear petitions from
their children constantly, persistent requests for things*, *some good
and* *some
quite bad*—*and decent parents know what their child needs long before she
asks for it.*
*God indeed knows everything about everything and so obviously is aware of
what we need before we ask*;
*yet still, like a good parent, he delights in hearing our requests—and
like a good parent, he does not always respond the way we would like him
to. *

*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
