FAMILY FAITH SHARING
2 Timothy 4:1-2; Psalm 96:1-2a, 2b-3-5;
Luke 18:1-8
Always Ask God for Help
There once was an unfair judge. A widow kept asking the judge to be fair to her when her turn came up in his court. For a long time he didn’t pay any attention to her. She kept on asking. Finally, the judge thought, “I might as well give in and be fair or she’ll never stop bothering me!” Jesus said we should act like this widow and never stop asking God for help.
When we thing of a “pest”, we think of someone who is bothersome and annoying. Yet, in today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us to be a “pest with prayer”. He tells us that we are to be persistent in asking God for what we need to be the best that we can be. We must learn to pray always and never give up.
