Luke 11: 5-13 - 'Ask, and it will be given to you.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 2613 (in 'Jesus teaches us how to pray') - Three principal parables on prayer are transmitted to us by St. Luke: the importunate friend," invites us to urgent prayer: "Knock, and it will be opened to you." To the one who prays like this, the heavenly Father will "give whatever he needs," and above all the Holy Spirit who contains all gifts (abbreviated).

- 2761 (in 'The Lord's Prayer') - The Lord's Prayer "is truly the summary of the whole gospel." "Since the Lord . . . after handing over the practice of prayer, said elsewhere, 'Ask and you will receive,' and since everyone has petitions which are peculiar to his circumstances, the regular and appropriate prayer [the Lord's Prayer] is said first, as the foundation of further desires."

- 443 (in 'The Only Son of God') - He distinguished his sonship from that of his disciples by never saying "our Father", except to command them: "You, then, pray like this: 'Our Father'", and he emphasized this distinction, saying "my Father and your Father" (abbreviated).

- 728 (in 'Christ Jesus') - Jesus does not reveal the Holy Spirit fully, until he himself has been glorified through his Death and Resurrection. Nevertheless, little by little he alludes to him even in his teaching of the multitudes, as when he reveals that his own flesh will be food for the life of the world. He also alludes to the Spirit in speaking to Nicodemus, to the Samaritan woman, and to those who take part in the feast of Tabernacles. To his disciples he speaks openly of the Spirit in connection with prayer and with the witness they will have to bear.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to daily gospel exegesis, where we take a look at the gospel reading
0:15.7	from the mass of today and we're trying to look at the literal sense of the text, which is really
0:20.7	looking at the words themselves.
0:22.8	What do they mean in their original context?
0:25.3	What's the social context?
0:26.5	What's the cultural context?
0:28.1	How can we best understand these words?
0:30.0	How would the original hearers have understood them?
0:32.6	As Catholics, that's where we must start if we want to understand the Bible.
0:37.1	Today if you go to Mass,
0:37.8	you would hear from Luke chapter 11, verses 5 to 13. So here's the text for today.
0:45.2	Jesus said to his disciples, suppose one of you has a friend and goes to him in the middle of the
0:51.0	night to say, my friend lend me three loaves because a friend of
0:56.1	mine on his travels has just arrived at my house and I have nothing to offer him. And the man
1:02.7	answers from inside the house, do not bother me. The door is bolted now and my children and I are in bed.
1:09.9	I cannot get up to give it to you. I tell you,
1:13.6	if the man does not get up and give it to him for friendship's sake, persistence will be enough
1:19.8	to make him get up and give his friend all he wants. So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you. Search and you will find. Knock and the door will be open to you.
1:34.6	For the one who asks always receives, the one who searches always finds, and the one who knocks will always have the door open to him.
1:45.0	What father among you would hand his son a stone when he asked for bread?
1:50.0	Or hand him a snake instead of a fish?
1:53.0	Or hand him a scorpion if he asked for an egg?
