In today’s Gospel we met Zebedee’s wife. She was one pushy broad! How she must have embarrassed her sons James and John! If she had taken Jesus aside to make her demand it would have been better for the brothers. But she was a momma trying to take care of her cubs. We can learn a lot from her, though. She is asking something from Jesus for others, not for herself. This is a very good form of prayer. And being pushy with God is okay. So be pushy and confident. Pray for others. Pray often. Pray hard.
