Let us meditate on the Gospel for the Rogation Mass, which is that taken from the Gospel according the Saint Luke, chapter 11, verses 5 thru 13:
At that time Jesus said to his disciples: "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him in the middle of the night and say to him. 'Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine has just come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; and he from within should answer and say, 'Do not disturb me; the door is now shut, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give to you.' "I say to you, although he will not get up and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him all he needs.Here is a short video from the first Rogation day at the rural farm of a family from Immaculate Conception Church, a parish of the FSSP and the Archdiocese of Omaha:
And I say unto you, ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened. But if one of you asks his father for a loaf, will he hand him a stone? or for a fish, will he for a fish hand him a serpent? or if he asks for an egg, will he hand him a scorpion? Therefore, if you, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Good Spirit to those who ask him!"
It would serve you well to also meditate on the prayers which precede the Holy Mass on these days, some are included in the snapshot below:
