God is our only hope in life!
32nd Week in Ordinary Time : Saturday 16th November 2019
Wis. 18:14-16; 19:6-9; Ps. 105(104):2-3,36-37,42-43;
Lk. 18:1-8 (Ps Wk IV)
Persevering prayer is a sign of enduring trust in God.
God is the God of justice; and a trusting prayer enables and motivates us to be collaborators of God in the persuit of His cause for justice in our world! God acts even when nothing seems to be happening! It’s our faith that needs awakening! It is God who acts and brings His plan to fulfillment in our world. Our action, a purely human effort is destined to fail, without a consistent and persevering faith!
Through prayer for justice God will intervene in our history. Each one of us is responsible for the development of justice and peace in our world and God will answer our desire for peace, justice and harmony in all of Creation!
We often forget that God is part of our world! That is the reality of the Incarnation! By praying with faith we become more and more part of this wounded world with its pain, injustice, hatred, etc. By praying with faith we are strengthened to transform our wounded world into a world of justice, peace and harmony.
Lord, we believe. You are our only hope!
