Daily Gospel: Starts with Asking

Jesus said to his disciples: "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,'
and he says in reply from within, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.'
I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.
And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish?
Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg?
If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the holy Spirit to those who ask him?" -  Luke 11:5-13


Reflection:
I had read many books about business and how many people became successful in their respective lives. Different authors and different lives yet they share a common start, asking. All of such books strongly recommends in starting with asking/wanting or desiring anything they want in their lives, it might be a car, a house, money, fame or anything for such an act establishes yourself and conditions your entirety towards that goal. Same goes with the gospel today, ask and you will truly receive it.
