Saturday of the Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text Lk 18:1-8
“There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’”
Gospel's Commentary
Today we learn two lessons. First one: whoever does not fear God ends up disrespecting men. Second one: "When man does not know God, man does not know man" (Saint John Paul II).
- Conclusion: it is advisable to talk with God. Even more: "It is necessary to pray always without failing" (Jesus).
