God delivers

Back in the 1980s, I was sitting in my office at Holy Spirit parish in New Hyde Park, Long Island, New York, when outside I saw a huge truck-trailer parked across the street. Obviously the name written across the side stood out – my first impression was that it said GOD, and sure enough, it was actually written as G.O.D. Next to it was the acronym for which it stands, Guaranteed Overnight Delivery. It was a clever way of advertising something so important for our modern society, that is to deliver goods as quickly as possible, without delay. But at the same time, it was clever to use a play on words to get some divine intervention. And yes, God delivers, especially when you pray with your heart when you don’t give up on disadvantages, on obstacles, on shortcomings or anything which comes against you. God answers our prayers not necessarily overnight, but in due, in His time, our prayers are answered.
