29th Sunday of the Year. 17th October 2004
COMMUNICATION
It is said that those who shout the loudest and the longest get most in business. You will not succeed unless you sell your products. The most effective advertisements are those that annoy you, leave an imprint on your mind, you do not forget easily. It is all about communication with other people.
And so how do we communicate with God? We pray to Him, we continue to pray to Him. We ask for what we want of Him through prayer. If we do not ask (pray) we will not receive.
St Luke speaks of "the need to pray continually, and never lose heart".
