Saturday 32 Week of Ordinary Time

 Perseverance Lk. 18:1-8

Mujeres en las Parábolas de Jesús: La Viuda Persistente ...

There was a Widow who was seeking a decision from the judge. Lk. 18:1-8

She had nothing. 

No family. 

No power or clout. 

No money. 

No social standing. 

Nothing except perseverance!


When we come before God what do we have?

Do our good looks impress Him?

Do our riches make Him want to be our friend?

Does our power and clout influence Him?

Does our intellect outsmart Him?


When we come before God in prayer we are like the Widow;

We come with nothing. 

Nothing that God needs or wants. 

All we have is our perseverance. 


What catches God's Eye?

What touches His Heart?

What moves Him to Act?


It is not beauty, or power, or money or intellect. 

But perseverance. 

A Faith that perseveres against all odds.


But When the Son of Man comes will He find such Faith on earth? Lk. 18:8
