Daily Mass Homily: Thursday, February 21st, 2013


            Jesus promises to answer our prayers.  Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
            It is with such confidence that Esther cried out to God.  At the time you could not approach the king unless he held out his golden scepter.  If he did not and you drew near to the king you were to be killed.  Thus, Esther asked for the courage to give her life on behalf of her people who had been handed over to the wicked.
            God always answers our prayers.  Ask, seek and knock—always approaching God by desiring His will.  For this—asking God’s will to be done—is one of the most powerful prayers and one that is always answered in the affirmative.
