Acts 18:23-28, Ps. 47, John 16:23-28

Ask, seek, knock

A children’s song has them using their fingers like opening lips (ask), placing their hand over their brow – shielding their eyes (seek) and then pretending to knock on an imaginary door.
While reflecting Matthew’s Gospel 7:7 more than the passage from John’s Gospel today, they can still prompt us:

“Ask and you will receive and so your joy will be complete…you will ask in my name.”

Mary, Mother of the Risen Lord, intercede for us.
