When Your Prayers Go Unanswered
Deacon John Ruscheinsky
Sometimes it seems that our prayers are unanswered.  We pray daily but didn’t get the answer we were looking for.  It seems the  pleas have been swallowed up by silence.  Feeling frustrated and alone.  We ask ourselves, doesn’t God care?  Yes! God is always ready to answer, but there are conditions that we need to meet so that He can answer us. There are also times when God knows it is best not to answer our prayers as we have prayed them. We trust that the “hidden things belong to the Lord our God, but the revealed things are for us and for our children forever, to observe all the words of the law” (Deut29:28)

On this Day of Prayer, we will reflect on Rev. Keith McClellan’s, Care Notes; about when prayers go unanswered; how we can learn to open ourselves to receive and accept God’s answer---Where He always, and sometimes mysteriously represents the fullness of His divine love for us.  Mass, 2 conferences, lunch, Holy Hour of Adoration and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
