Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Unceasing Prayers” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus explains to His disciples and us that when we pray unceasingly and trustingly, we can be assured that God will never fail to answer our needs. Ponder on, “All sincere prayers that do not take God’s Goodness and Mercy for granted will surely be answered, as God Loves us and wants the ‘best’ for us.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 18:1-8a
Jesus told his disciples a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart.
‘There was a judge in a certain town,’ he said ‘who had neither fear of God nor respect for man. In the same town there was a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, “I want justice from you against my enemy!” For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, “Maybe I have neither fear of God nor respect for man, but since she keeps pestering me I must give this widow her just rights, or she will persist in coming and worry me to death.” ’
And the Lord said, ‘You notice what the unjust judge has to say? Now will not God see justice done to his chosen who cry to him day and night even when he delays to help them? I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily.’
