PRAYER IS A-S-K ACCOMPANIED BY CHARITY, FAITH AND HOPE
Prayer is all about A.S.K. (Ask-search-knock) incorporated with the theological virtues and in persistence. Ask with charity, search with faith and knock with hope and it shall be done. Ask God in love: love for God, self and neighbour so that we be selfless and right in addressing our petitions, invocations and intercessions to the Lord. Search for God with utmost faith even when all around is dark for the Bible says, “Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you” (Ps. 139:12) so that we find him so closer to us than our very breath (Ps. 46: 1). Knock at the door of the paradise with a hope of a child towards his father and will be opened. Never cease to ASK with Charity, Faith and Hope and it will be done all for the good of the person and for the glory of God.
Today we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Rosary, a feast promulgated by Pope Pius V as a gratitude to God for the victory of the Christians that was wrought by praying the Rosary during the battle against the Turks at Lepanto. Mother Mary in almost all her apparitions have insisted and exhorted the humanity to pray and pray. May our Blessed Mother, our model and our guide teach us to turn to God in prayer with charity, faith and hope in our ASK. Let us today pray the rosary, calling out her name tenderly and lovingly to assist us, her children to persevere in prayer and in loving relationship with the Lord.
