SUNDAY SCRIPTURE READINGS:

GENESIS 18: 20 – 32. Abraham shows us how prayer can be a bold dialogue with God.

PSALM 137. The Lord always hears our prayers and answers our call for help.

COLOSSIANS 2: 12 – 14. St Paul uses a colourful image of baptism: it is like being buried with Jesus in the tomb and then rising to new life with Him. We die to sin and selfishness and rise to a new life of love.

LUKE 11: 1 – 13. St Luke gives us the shorter version of the "Lord's Prayer" (cf Matthew 6:9-13). He also includes Jesus' teaching on the importance of patience and persistence in prayer, even when prayers seem unanswered.
