WISHES POWERFUL?

“Ask and it will be given to you.” – Matthew 7:7
The hilarious Fr. Erick Santos is a good friend of mine. One day, he told me that he grew up in a poor family and, sometimes, they had nothing to eat. But his mother taught him the power of wishing.
Once, on his birthday, his mother told him, “Erick, make a wish before you blow the candle.” So little Erick closed his eyes, made a wish and blew out his candle.
Later on, his mother asked him, “What wish did you make?” Erick replied, “Mommy, I wished that next year, my birthday candle will have a birthday cake with it!”
Friends, there are two kinds of wishes in the world: secular and sacred. When little Erick made a wish before blowing his birthday candle, that’s a secular wish. Sacred wishes are wishes directed to God. And that’s what we’re more familiar with — wishes as prayers.
I believe both secular and sacred wishes are powerful, and God responds to both. Wishing is powerful because it gives you ope. In the same way that a man cannot live without food, without water, without breath, so a man cannot live without hope. Without hope, your spirit dies. And when your spirit dies, everything in you dies.
Only a person with hope will act!Bo Sanchez (bosanchez@kerygmafamily.com)

REFLECTION:
Don’t just wish — act!
Lord, You know my heart’s desire. And I believe Your answer is on its way.
St. David of Wales, bishop, pray for us.
