Gospel: Luke 11:5-13
And he said to them, "Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, `Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; and he will answer from within, `Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything'? I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs. And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
Reflection: Abir kon uno an atô pangajôon kan God hilabina kon para sa karajawan ini nan atô Kristiyano na kinabuhi sanan amo’y mahimô na hinung’dan para himayaon natô Sija, ihatag gajud ini Nija.
An taghimô ni Jesus na ehemplo dinhi sa ebanghelyo an nangutang nan pan sa ija amigo sa tunga’y-duyom na dili na unta pagbigyan kay estorbo na sija, pero tungod sa ija pagka-makulit, waya ra gihapon mapakyas an ija tinguha.
Ugsa an saad ni Jesus dato sa Ija pulong na kon sin’oy mangajô-kahatagan, maghanap-makabagat, manoktok sa pultahan-kaabrihan.
Dili mopakyas sanan mopasagad si God sa mga panginahanglan nan Ija mga mahal na anak dinhi sa kalibutan.
Assurance ini ni Jesus datô tanan.
"Heavenly Father, you are merciful, gracious and kind. May I never doubt your mercy and love nor hesitate to seek you with confident trust in order to obtain the gifts, graces, and daily provision I need to live as your beloved child and constant friend."
