Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time – Year C
Parents raising young children know very well the challenges of guiding their little ones to be respectful and polite when asking for something. It is not always easy for children to grasp the difference between, “Give me that!” and “May I please have the ball?” Consequently, they often need to be told, “It’s how you ask for something.” Even then, we know there’s more behind those instructions than just the right words.
Jesus’ parable about the two men who went to the temple to pray has to do with how we ask for something, but in the same way it is not just a matter of the right words. It has everything to do with our attitude, everything to do with our heart.
