“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)

Jesus said this not for his own sake but for our needs, because “if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.”

God will definitely answer our prayers if we pray with the “same heart and spirit” because Jesus is “in the midst of us”.

“Same heart and spirit” signifies our compliance to God’s will as well as our willingness to collaborate with one another.

“Jesus being in the midst of us” is our greatest gift from God. We cannot always adore the Blessed Sacrament, receive the Eucharist or read the bible, but Jesus can be with us no matter where we are – at home, in the office or even on our journey.

Let us admire and praise God’s thoughtful love for mankind, and together strive to share with others His love for us.
