Our Gospel for March 17. Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.

Matthew 7:7-12

Jesus said to his disciples:
“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. 
Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asked for a loaf of bread,or a snake when he asked for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.

“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.”

Humingi, Maghanap, Kumatok
Mateo 7:7-12

Humingi kayo at ito ay ibibigay sa inyo. Maghanap kayo at makakasumpong kayo. Kumatok kayo at ito ay bubuksan sa inyo. Ito ay sapagkat ang bawat isang humihingi ay tumatanggap. Siya na naghahanap ay nakakasumpong. Ang kumakatok ay pinagbubuksan.
     
Sino kaya sa inyo ang magbibigay ng isang bato sa kaniyang anak kung ito ay humingi ng tinapay? Kung humingi siya sa kaniya ng isda, bibigyan ba niya ito ng ahas? Kayo, bagaman masasama ay marunong magbigay ng mabubuting kaloob sa inyong mga anak, gaano pa kaya ang inyong Ama na nasa langit? Hindi ba niya ibibigay ang mabubuting bagay sa kanila na humihingi sa kaniya? Kaya nga, ang lahat ng bagay na ibig ninyong gawin ng mga tao sa inyo ay gayundin ang gawin ninyo sa kanila sapagkat ito ang kabuuan ng Kautusan at ng mga Propeta.

Ask and it will be given to you

The greatest of all sins is to lose hope. The laziest act is to stop dreaming. The greatest loss is to give up on faith. We have a God who promised to be with us always, to give if we ask, and to find him if we seek him. That is why Jesus says we have not only a God but a Father who gives good things to those who ask him.

If we have not yet received, perhaps we have not really asked the Father yet, knocked hard enough, or sought with all our hearts. Have we lost hope and faith in our Father in heaven?

We need only hope, dream, seek, and take a step…

Do something today to realize your dreams.
