Luke 11:5-135 And he said to them, "Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, `Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; 7 and he will answer from within, `Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything'? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
Humingi at kayo'y bibigyan
kahapon Oktubre 10 ay tungkol sa dasal, ngayon ay sa paghingi, marahil kapag tayo ay nagdadasal ang kalimitan nating dinadasal ay paghingi sa Diyos, oo, kahit ako, lahat tayo ay huihingi sa Diyos, mula sa aking nabasa: "Ang paghingi sa pagdadasal ay tanda ng ating kawalan, ng ating pagpapakumbaba at lalong higit ng ating pananalig sa Diyos."
pero sa araw-araw na buhay, naisasagawa pa ba ito? Noong ako ay bata pa, ma humingi sa aming kasambahay ng pera o limos, binigyan niya ito ng barya at may sinabi pagkatapos, "Huwag mong ipangsusugal iyan ha. Umuwi ka sa nanay mo!"
sa araw-araw ngayon, marami ang mga palaboy o pulubi na humihingi, mas madami ang hindi nagbibigay, umiiling, nagsasabi ng "wala". sa mga ito marahil ay sa kawalan ng tiwala sa kanila dahil sa pwede nila itong ilustay sa rugby, sugal at iba pa.
sa akin naman ay kung mayroon ako, bakit ko naman ipagdadamot iyon, kailangan nila ng tulong at tayo ang makakatulong sa kanila.
sabi nga ni Fr. Mario P. Rivera: "In giving, we become closer to God.."
