THE GRACE OF GOD
December 6, 2010I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the secret of being happy at any time in everything that happens, when I have enough to eat and when I go hungry, when I have more than I need and when I do not have enough.13 I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength. Philippians 4:12-13

PRAYER SHOULD LEAD TO ACTION – WHEREAS ACTION WITHOUT PRAYER MAY NOT BE FRUITFUL. PRAYER AND ACTION GO TOGETHER
December 1, 2010Thursday of week 1 of Advent – Gospel
Commentary on Matthew 7:21, 24-27
Today’s Gospel reading reminds us of what true discipleship means. People often confess that they have not said their morning and evening prayers or that they have not been to Mass. Perhaps they should remember the words of today’s Gospel: "It is not those who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord’, who will enter the kingdom of heaven…"
On the other hand, those of us who always do say our morning and evening prayers and never miss a Mass also need to remember them. Something more is needed than just being a pray-er. What is needed is that we "do the will of the Father".
What is that will? It is that we be filled with the spirit of the Kingdom and work to make that Kingdom a reality in our world. It involves constant outreach beyond ourselves. We have to go to God by finding him present in the world around us and helping others to be aware of that loving presence also. We will not do that by piously calling on God’s name while ignoring the needs of our brothers and sisters. To do that is to build our house on sand.
That is not to say that prayer is not important. We cannot effectively do God’s work unless we spend time listening to and responding to his Word in times of undisturbed quiet. But our prayer is only genuine when it becomes the spur for us to go out and bring something of God’s love and compassion into our world
