29th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME


 

Gospel: Luke 18:1-8 

The parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge
serves as a powerful lesson on the importance of prayer and faith.
Jesus uses this story to teach his disciples about the need to
continually seek God’s justice and not lose heart,
even in the face of adversity.
As the crowd listens intently, they are challenged to reflect on their own faith
and commitment to seeking God’s will in their lives.
