Wisdom 18:14-16,19:6-9
Luke 18:1-8
In today’s gospel, Jesus talks about the need to pray constantly and never to lose heart. As children of God, we must persist in prayer because prayer is the key that opens the heart of God the Father who is the source of our lives. St Augustine would say, pray as though everything depends on God. Work as though everything depends on you.
Prayer is your communication to God. It does not have to be only when you are asking. We pray because we see God as Our loving Father who wants to share His divine life with us. We depend on God and with Him all things are possible. St. John Paul II once said that, prayer is in fact the recognition of our limits and dependence. We come from God, we are of God, and to God we return. DO NOT GIVE UP BUT BE PERSISTENT IN YOUR PRAYERS.
Happy Weekend
