How deep is your love?【・ヘ・?】


Happy sunday..
I wake up 04.55 am this morning because I want to go to Church to pray, that start at 05.30 am. It's not too early morning, but I have wake up late lately. That is why it feels kind of difficult. But I wake up early enough this morning, it's enough for 15 minutes take a bath, 15 minutes journey from home to the Church. Unfortunately, I take bath for more than 15 minutes, and I arrive at the Church-not very late, but it is late enough-when the first reading was being read.
And today Gospel Reading is about what pray should we say?(Luke 11:1-13)

Luke 11:1-13

New International Version (NIV)

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer

11 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.[b]
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
    for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c]
And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”
Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

I love this reading so much, especially this quotes "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." But today, my Romo (Pastor) emphasise not in that quotes, but in the prayer. Pray as a shape of our love to Our Lord, conversation between us and Him. The main point is LOVE, do we always pray as an expression of love to Him?
But the expression of love to him, is not only on prayer but also when we go to Church. If you are going to meet your dear Lover, will you be late? If you talk to your dear, would you want it to be done quickly?

Waw, today I just get slapped and realise how little is my love for my dearest Lord. That is why, start from now on. When I want to go to Church I am going to wake up one hour and depart 30 minutes before the Mass start!!! Definitely!!! へ(>_<)

Because I have embarrassed enough to death this morning!!!
