17-c

17th Sunday-C
Good morning every one. I am so happy to welcome you all for today’s Holy Mass. Brothers and sisters in Christ, every time we come to Church and ask God with faith, we receive of things thirty, sixty and hundred fold and every time, we come to church and search God with hope, we find Him in our brothers and sisters and every time we come to church and knock the divine door with love, it is wide opened and takes us to heaven where we will be surrounded by angels and archangels, saints and holy men and women.
In today’s gospel, The apostles is asking Christ saying, we heard all other rabbis teaching prayers and different methods of spiritual worship to approach God and John the Baptist too taught his disciples to pray and we see you going to lonely places, deserted areas and top of the hills alone and praying to God. We see you different in your approach and sayings, your miracles and wonders bring more people to God and please help us to pray like you. We want to be like you.
Some times we see how grandchildren come to their grandparents and parents and ask them to help in their prayer life. They go to them because they see something new, attractive and spiritual in them. They see how they create a non-judgmental surroundings. They do not criticize or put others down instead they find the presence of God in every person. Not only children and many people are being attracted to people who pray more and thank God for everything that is happening around them.
Once a grand child looked at his grandpa being sad and asked, “Grandpa, I never saw you being sad and why are you looking sad”. The grandpa said, ‘you know what there are two wolves fighting with each other in m, one is good and the other is bad”. The boy innocently asked him which one is going to win grandpa. The grandpa looked at him and said the one I feed.
People accumulate more wisdom and knowledge through their prayers. Prayers shape a person into

1. Ask:
My Father will give you anything that you ask in my name. And then a man came to Jesus and Jesus said, “What do you want from me?’ I want to see again, Jesus. please help me. Do you believe that I can do this for you and when he said, “Yes”, I believe and then the man immediately regained his sight and began to praise and glorify God. By asking, he received sight and faith. His faith in God multiplied hundred fold. He then began to follow Christ.
And before we ask, we thank God for what we are given. we praise His holy name and we worship and adore Him for our life and living. What we with our power can do we should do.
One day a man as he was walking noticed a fox with a broken leg and he wanted to know how the fox was feeding himself and then a strange thing happened, a lion came bringing a piece of meat and dropped before the fox. The man was so surprised to see the greatness of God and thought to himself, If God does great things to a limping fox how much more he would do to me. so he went home and began to pray and ask God continuously for food but nothing happened and then one day God appeared to him and said, “Son, you should have taken the lesson from the lion not from the limping
