what can't God do?

 Homily
Tuesday of the 1st Week in Ordinary Time

I'm an expert at telling God what He can't do.  I pray to resign myself to the way things are.  I don't often have the faith to dare God to do something new.

Hannah prays differently., so differently that it startles the priest  She dares God to do the impossible.  The demons in today's Gospel also dare Jesus to do something if He is who He says He is.  

God loves your dares more than your resignation.  Dare to ask him boldly for what you desire today.  Dare to ask Him for something new.   

God loves it when you tell Him what He can't do.
