Requests - to make to heaven

10/05/2010

Money and material possessions - that's what we hear everyone asking for. Even heaven is snowed under by such requests and cannot respond. Of course, 'cannot respond' is only a manner of speaking: if heaven sees fit, it is always able to give everyone what they want immediately. But is there nothing better to ask for than material satisfaction? Heaven is certainly willing to accept your requests, but it is waiting for you to ask for light, love and wisdom, which will also allow you to help your family and friends. Ask for the strength to fulfil the will of God, ask to participate in the coming of his kingdom of peace, love and eternal life on earth. As such prayers are extremely rare, heaven will say, 'Ah! There's someone who isn't like all the others! Let's deal with them first; let's give them the satisfaction.' To the other requests, however, it will reply, 'Be patient; we'll see about that later!'
