Confidence in prayer: Homily for Thursday, March 2, 2023

Perhaps one of the frustrating aspects of prayer is when God appears NOT to have given us what we asked for, what we sought, or the door opened to something we did not expect when we knocked. Today's gospel reminds us that we need to have confidence in our prayer, knowing that even we as humans will give what is best to our children.

Given at Christian Brothers College High School, Town and Country, Missouri. Readings for Today. Listen to our other homilies.
