Mass Readings for 12.11.11
Wisdom of Solomon 18:14-16; 19:6-9
Luke 18:1-8
Both the readings are very emphatic that God certainly hears our prayers and acts swiftly whenever we are in dire need or have become victims of injustice.But God's 'timing' and the nature of 'action' will always be at the right time and appropriate to our situation and according to his promises in the Bible. On our part we are expected to 'wait' upon God patiently and with complete trust and faith in his goodness and love for us. God is all powerful and he is capable of answering all our prayers much beyond our expectations provided what we ask him in prayer is in accordance to his will for us. We should always keep in mind that God knows what is best for us and is very eager to please us.He will give only the best things for his beloved children and all of us are God's children. He is an impartial God and a loving Father to each one of us.This fact I have experienced in my own life. He is totally unselfish and his love for us is unconditional.However the answer to our prayers may not be in the way or form we expected or according to our expected 'time' because that may not be the best thing for us in God's will.Many a time he refuses what we ask if he knows in his divine wisdom that it is going to harm us.Sometimes he postpones the gift to a suitable time when we can enjoy it best. He is the most wisest, faithful and loving Father.When an unjust judge as in the parable performs his duty unwillingly to a defenceless widow for selfish reasons, will not our Sovereign God and Almighty Father hasten to lovingly answer all the prayers of his beloved children.Jesus asks us to wait on God patiently and expectantly after we have made our prayers to him.Have patience like the defenceless widow and pray with faith but without anxiety or worry.God is much closer to you than you can ever know and he hears all your prayers. Cheer up and trust God and wholly depend upon his goodness and wisdom.
