Humility is the key to our prayers. October 23, 2016 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time




October 23, 2016
30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

For the past few weeks the readings have focused on prayer. In today’s Gospel we are given a message of humility in our approach to prayer to God.  As hard as it may be for us to believe, God does hear our prayers and responds to our humility and desire to ask for forgiveness, since we are all sinners.  Scriptures tell us that, “the prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds.”  So today let us make humble and honest prayers to our merciful and love God.  He will hear and will answer.
