17th Sunday in Ordinary Time 24th July: Focus: Knock & keep knocking; trust God’s goodness & don’t give up. – Why does the man in Jesus’ prayer illustration keep knocking? Two reasons: He knows his friend heard him; he knows this friend has bread. Why should we pray without giving up? We know God hears our prayers & that he is able to provide for us. When we keep seeking him & knocking, we show trust in his faithfulness.
