3 Page 3 Reflections from Fr. Brian Second Sunday of Lent February 21, Second Sunday of Lent All prayers are based in the goodness of God. We can pray your kingdom come, your will be done because we believe God s will is always for our best good. Notice how Jesus illustrates this truth later in this passage. He tells us about a father whose son asks for fish and an egg. Will the father give him instead a stone, a serpent, or a scorpion? Of course not. Jesus begins with God because all prayer is based in the nature of God. He is Creator, Sustainer, and Father of all that is. And His nature is Love. We need to see that, if God s will is done, we will receive everything we need. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, said Jesus, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33). Sometimes we do not see that because we do not see life from God s perspective. But God knows our needs and God will provide. A boy once said to God, I ve been thinking, and know what I want when I become a man. He proceeded to give God his list: to live in a big house with two Saint Bernards and a garden to marry a blue eyed, tall, beautiful woman to have three sons one a senator, one a scientist, and one a quarterback. He also wanted to be an adventurer who climbed tall mountains and drove a red Ferrari. As it turned out, the boy hurt his knee one day while playing football. He no longer could climb trees, much less mountains. He married a beautiful and kind woman, who was short with brown eyes. Because of his business, he lived in a city apartment, not a big house with a garden, and he took cabs, and rode subways, not a sleek, expensive Ferrari. He had three loving daughters, not three sons a nurse, an artist, and a music teacher. They adopted, not two Saint Bernards, but a fluffy cat. One morning the man awoke and remembered his boyhood dream. He became extremely depressed. He called out to God, Remember when I was a boy I told You all the things I wanted? Why didn t You give me those things? I could have, said God, but I wanted to make you happy. It is a wise person who realizes that the kindest thing God does for some of us is to not answer all of our prayers. When you pray, trust God. He knows your needs. Jesus begins with God. That is where we too must begin. God knows our needs. He is the source of our life. He is our hope for a better life. He is the Lord of all creation. Only after Christ has focused our attention on God and His kingdom and His will does he turn to our needs. Cast your care upon the Lord and He will support you. Trust in the Father s care for us, must be our way of life. YÜA UÜ tç
