Listening to today's gospel about the passage from St Mathew's text, where we hear:
Ask and you shall receive.
Seek and you will find.
Knock and the door will be opened for you.
The imagery and thought that flashed across my mind as Fr Wilson was preaching on this theme, was a totally weird and different one from the one being preached.
Ask. Seek. Knock.
I was struck by the third one. Not for what the Gospel meant, but for what I felt as one mode of operation.
Perhaps at times there is also the need to knock. Knock, not at a door to ask or plead, but to literally give a knock on one's head! For some, we begin by asking, then really seek but if there is no response, a knock on the head is what will waken them up to straighten themselves.
