ASKING FOR HELP. The Beatitudes praise the poor in spirit. One character-

istic of those who are poor in spirit is their ability to ask for

help; they know when others can provide what they lack.

Today’s readings encourage us to practice poverty in spirit

by asking God for what we need. What could be more natu-

ral than to ask God for good things? God is, after all, the

inventor of goodness and the giver of all good things.

Asking God for help puts us in conversation with God.

These conversations take many forms. The reading from

Genesis shows Abraham bantering with God like a skilled

negotiator, while Saint Paul’s letter to the Colossians

praises God for answering us even when we don’t deserve

it. In Saint Luke’s Gospel, Jesus not only gives us words to

use in our conversations with God (the Our Father), but

also promises that God always listens to our prayers. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
