When my daughter was about three I took her to bed and asked what she
would like to pray about. Promptly she answered: "onions." We prayed about
onions and the next morning I asked why she wanted to pray about onions.
"Because you said in your sermon that we should pray for things we dont
like."

Pastors' Jokes
After the church service a little boy told the pastor,
"When I grow up, I'm going to give you some money." "Well, thank you," the
pastor replied, "but why?" "Because my daddy says you're one of the poorest
preachers we've ever had."
Canaanite Woman and the Silence Of God
Sent by Gordon:
Silence Of God
God will come at an unexpected moment. He may not come as we
expect. But, certainly He will come. He will hear our prayer one
day. One day I was meditating on the conversation that took place between Jesus
and the Canaanite woman narrated in the Scripture (Mt15:21-28, Mk7:24-30). I was
a bit disturbed at the way Jesus humiliated that poor Canaanite woman.
She had a lot of expectations from Jesus. She was sure that her daughter
would be healed by the mighty power of Jesus. With this hope, she
came to Jesus. But, unfortunately, “He did not answer her at all”
(Mt.15:23). He was silent in front of her. All her expectations
were been shattered. Even the disciples came to her aid. But Jesus said, “I was
sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Mt15:24).
But, she was persistent and did not leave him. She pleaded
with him again, “Lord help me”. He answered, “It is not fair to
take the children's food and throw it to dogs”. Though she was disappointed
again, she said, “Yes Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from
their master's table”. At last, this time, Jesus heard her prayer. He healed her
daughter.

1. “Come, Follow me.” It was the Lord Jesus calling us.
2. We were already His, for we bore the name of Christians. We had already been initiated into His church. We had been washed in baptism and confirmed in our belief and given the eucharistic nourishment in memory of Him. But there seemed to come a time when the Lord was calling us to take some further step.
