This sermon, delivered by Father Bob Wismer, explores the concept of prayer through the lens of Old and New Testament covenants or "contracts" with God. Father Wismer highlights two primary biblical narratives: Abraham's bold negotiation with God concerning Sodom and Gomorrah, and the parable of the persistent friend at midnight from the Gospel of Luke. Both examples emphasize praying for others and approaching God with audacity, expectation, and a sense of community, rather than personal gain or timidity. The sermon ultimately encourages a shameless and persistent prayer life, trusting in God's loving and generous nature to provide, even if the answer is not what was initially desired.
