TODAY'S REFLECTION
As a reciprocal, communicative event, prayer is an expression of our trustful relationship with God, it is predicated on God's love and fidelity to His creation, His care and His providence. In her 'mortal peril" Esther presents herself to God with total self-abandon: "I am alone and have no one but You, Lord. “In the Gospel, Jesus encourages us to dare to present ourselves and our needs to God (ask, seek, knock), trusting that 'God gives good things to those who ask Him!, What God gives in response to our prayers is what is good for us - and He alone knows what is ultimately good for us. God does not always give us what we want, but what we need - and He knows what we really need.

"With grateful hearts, we bid farewell to our beloved parish priest, who faithfully served God and His people with unwavering dedication while on earth. His tireless devotion to the Church, his compassion for the flock, and his steadfast commitment to the Gospel have left an indelible mark on our community. Though he has departed from this earthly life, his legacy of faith, love, and service will continue to inspire us. May the Lord, whom he served so faithfully, grant him eternal rest and reward him with the crown of glory. Until we meet again in the presence of Christ, we remain united in prayer and thanksgiving for his life and ministry.
