Galatians 2:1-2, 7-14 / Luke 11:1-4   

When others come to know that we are Catholics, what would we think that they will ask us?

Probably they will be interested to know about our religious practices, which church we go to, why we pray to Mary, etc.

Yes, these and other curious questions will be asked and we may be at ease in answering some of those questions, and maybe feel uncomfortable about other questions.

But has anyone ever asked us to teach them to pray?

There can be other curious questions about us being Catholics, but has anyone ever expressed interest in how we pray or who we pray to?

When the disciples saw Jesus praying, they asked Him to teach them to pray.

If ever anyone asks us to teach them to pray, let us not hesitate or feel awkward to do so.

Let us lead them to God who wants to be a loving Father to them, just as He is a loving Father to us.
