Saturday of the Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time, Year II. 3 John 1:5-8; Ps. 112:1-6; Luke 18:1-8
I remember reading an inspirational book by the renowned author John Mason. One of the chapters of that book was titled “the tenacity of a weed”. Weeds by nature seldom die. Uproot them, cut them, burn them; they’ll still find a way to sprout. This is the kind of attitude Jesus encourages us to have toward prayers. We must keep praying with faith, for though sorrow may last all night, joy comes at dawn.
Friends, we cannot trust in our own capacity to make the impossible possible. Storms may rise, gales blow, we may even have to pass through seas and oceans, but only if we trust God our deliverer, can we hope to scale through. Let’s not cower before our challenges. God is able. In doing this, we must encourage one another, desiring and doing God’s will. And we must keep praying, knowing that in the end, victory is sure. But the Question is, “are we persistent and consistent enough in prayer?”
Prayer
Dear Lord, may I never be tired of depending wholly on You for all I need, though the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Amen.
God bless your weekend.
