In today's Gospel reading from Luke 11, Jesus says to his disciples, "I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (...) If you, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" The Lord our Father wants us to ask, seek, and knock—these three letters form the word "ASK"—therefore, ask all you want, because his ears and heart are all yours. He'll even give you the Holy Spirit if you ask for him! Saying that he is remote and does not care about you could not be further from the truth. Having such an all-loving, all-understanding, and all-powerful God on your side has to be your greatest possible blessing!
