SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 17th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:ASK\, SEEK\, AND KNOCK \nFrom a commentary by The Venerable Bede \n◊◊◊ \nOur Lord and Savior wishes us to attain the joy of the heavenly kingdom\, \nand so he taught us to pray for it\, promising to give it to us if we did so. Ask\, he \nsaid\, and you will receive\, seek and you will find\, knock and the door will be \nopened to you. \nWe should consider most seriously and attentively what these words of \nthe Lord may mean for us\, for they warn that not the idle and lazy but those who \nask\, seek\, and knock will receive\, find and have the door opened to them. We \nmust therefore ask for entry into the kingdom by prayer\, seek it by upright \nliving\, and knock at its door by perseverance. Merely to ask verbally is not \nenough; we must also diligently seek to discover how to live so as to be worthy of \nobtaining what we ask for. We know this from our Savior’s words: Not everyone \nwho says to me\, “Lord\, Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven\, but only those \nwho do the will of my heavenly Father. \nThere is a need\, then\, for constant and unflagging prayer. Let us fall upon \nour knees with tears before our God and Maker; and that we may deserve a \nhearing\, let us consider carefully how he who made us wishes us to live\, and \nwhat he has commanded us to do… \nSeek first the kingdom of God and its justice\, and these other things will \nbe given you as well. To seek the kingdom of God and its justice is to long for the \ngraces of our heavenly homeland\, and to give constant thought to the kind of \nupright living that will deserve to obtain them; for should we chance to stray \nfrom the path that leads there we shall never be able to reach our goal. \nTo ask God for the justice of his kingdom is to ask principally for faith\, \nhope and love. These virtues above all we should strive to obtain\, for Scripture \nsays: Mercy surrounds those who hope in the Lord; and To love is to fulfill the \nlaw\, for the whole law is summed up in one word: You shall love your neighbor \nas yourself. And so the Lord graciously promises that the Father will give the \ngood Spirit to those who ask him\, in order to show that those who of themselves \nare evil can become good only by receiving the grace of the Spirit… \nAs we do our best\, then\, to follow in our Lord’s footsteps\, let us ask God \nthe Father for the grace of his Spirit to lead us along the path of that true faith \nwhich works through love… Then\, if we keep the almighty Father’s \ncommandments\, he will certainly reward us with the eternal blessing which \nfrom the beginning he prepared as our heritage through Jesus Christ our Lord\, \nwho with the Holy Spirit lives and reigns with him\, God for ever and ever.
