32nd Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 18:1-8
*Friends, today's Gospel exhorts us to pray with persistence. This command
is everywhere in the Bible. We see it in *Abraham's steady petition on
behalf of the people of Sodom. We see it in today's account of the
persistent widow. We hear it in Jesus' extraordinary teaching: "Knock and
the door shall be opened to you; seek and you will find; ask and it will be
given to you."

*One reason that we don't receive* what we want *through prayer is that we
give up too easily. What could be behind this rule of prayer? Augustine
said that God sometimes delays in giving us what we want because he wants
our hearts to expand. The more ardently we desire something, the more ready
we are when it comes, the more we treasure it. The very act of asking
persistently is accomplishing something spiritually important. So, when the
Lord seems slow to answer your prayer, never give up.*
