Kindle in their hearts a spark of love for

protect them from the snares of the enemy...

Mother Catherine Aurelia, Foundress Contemplative Sisters

Adorers of the Precious Blood

Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. When they had had their fill, He said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

John 6:10, 12

■ I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find;

knock and the door will be opened to you. Luke 11:9

Our God knows how to answer the prayers of his beloved creatures. It is our task to recognize the often unexpected ways He answers these prayers. While attending university in Rome, I always dreaded the biannual transatlantic flights between the seminary and my diocese. Routinely, I would pray asking God to provide tranquil weather for the journey. Unfortunately, and just as routinely, it would rain on the day of my departure. Sharing this situation with my spiritual director after a few years of this occurrence, I learned something quite unexpected. My spiritual director had been a pilot before becoming a priest. He told me that when it rains on the ground, the atmosphere above the clouds is relieved of its pressure. As a result, flying conditions are actually improved when it rains. When we seek and knock, it’s important that we remain open to the unexpected ways in which Our Lord always answers our prayers.
