福音：瑪七7-12
耶穌對門徒說：「你們求，必要給你們；你們找，必要找著；你們敲，必要給你們開，因為凡是求的，就必得到；找的，就必找到；敲的，就必給他開。或者，你們中間有那個人，兒子向他求餅，反而給他石頭呢？或者求魚，反而給他蛇呢？你們縱然不善，尚且知道把好的東西給你們的兒女，何況你們在天之父，豈不更將好的賜與求他的人？
所以，凡你們願意別人給你們做的，你們也要照樣給人做：法律和先知即在於此。」

默想:
你期待天主俯听你的祈祷吗?艾斯德尔为了同胞的祈祷就是我们的model.根据天主的许诺，她祈祷天主帮助他忠信的子民。天主也希望我们记得他的许诺，在祈祷中信靠他。在耶稣教导门徒祈祷时，称天主为父，这完全出乎门徒的意料。今天福音中耶稣说的那个父亲总是把最好的给自己的孩子，天父对我们的爱更是博大精深。Our heavenly Father graciously gives beyond our expectations.Those who know and trust in God's love, pray with great boldness.
Prayer flows from the love of God; and the personal love we show to our neighbor is fueled by the love that God has poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). Jesus concludes his discourse on prayer with the reminder that we must treat our neighbor in the same way we wish to be treated by God and by others. We must not just avoid doing harm to our neighbor, we must actively seek his or her welfare. In doing so, we fulfill the law and the prophets, namely what God requires of us — loving God with all that we have and are and loving our neighbor as ourselves. The Holy Spirit is every ready to transform our lives in Jesus’ way of love. Do you thirst for holiness and for the fire of God’s love?
