Today’s readings provide the insight that our image of God influences how we pray. In the First Reading, Abraham bargains with God over the number of good people needed to save all the inhabitants in the city. God emerges as a kind and patient negotiator. In Paul’s Letter to the Colossians, God is kind and compassionate. God has “forgiven us all our transgressions; obliterating the bond against us . . .nailing it to the cross.” God’s forgiveness is total. Both readings contain the foundational dimension of the Christian image of God as kind, generous, and completely forgiving. Luke’s Gospel account presents Jesus as a man of prayer. Inspired by Jesus’ example, his disciples ask him to teach them how to pray. In the prayer he gives them (a shortened version of Matthew’s account of the Lord’s Prayer), Jesus deepens their image of God as generous and forgiving. Beginning with “Abba”/”Father,” a small child’s address to a Father (“Daddy”), Jesus issues an invitation to approach God with the trust and love a child has for parents. Jesus shows them that prayer is about forming a relationship with God. In the rest of the Gospel passage, Jesus continues this intimate relationship between God and God’s children. “Would a parent offer a child a snake when they ask for fish? . . .How much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask?” In prayer, God knows his children’s needs better than they know themselves. Prayer will establish the most intimate of relationships between the believer and God through “the Holy Spirit” of love. How do today’s readings reflect the image of a generous

and compassionate God? What are the implications of Paul’s statement that God

brought us to life again even after we were “dead in transgressions”?

What image of God appeals the most to you?
