Send us a textSaturday, 15 November 2025 – Week 32 in Ordinary Time (Year C)First Reading: Wisdom 18:14–16; 19:6–9.Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 105.Gospel: Luke 18:1–8.Introduction.The Word of God today brings together two powerful scenes:• In the Book of Wisdom, God rescues Israel through the Red Sea a God who does not abandon His people even in the darkest night.• In the Gospel, Jesus teaches the need to pray continually and not lose heart, using the parable of the persistent widow.These readings reveal one truth: God is faithful our task is to remain steadfast in prayer.MAIN POINT: “Persistent Prayer Springs from Trust in God’s Faithfulness.”God answers speedily but not always according to our timeline.Our perseverance in prayer is not about twisting God’s arm; it is about strengthening our trust in Him.1. A concrete exampleThink of a mother praying for her child who has gone astray.Months pass. Years pass. Sometimes she feels discouraged.But like the widow, she keeps showing up before God.And one day sometimes unexpectedly God opens a door, softens a heart, or brings someone into the child’s life who turns things around.Persistent prayer does not simply change situations it changes us.It shapes our hearts, deepens our trust, and keeps us connected to the God who rescues, just as He rescued Israel at the Red Sea.How to live this in daily life (Way Forward)1.Set a fixed time of prayer daily even 5 minutes.2.Keep a small prayer intention list and present it to God every day.3.When tempted to give up, repeat:“Lord, I trust Your timing.”4.Offer short prayers through the day:“Jesus, help me… Lord, guide me… Holy Spirit, strengthen me.”5.Remember God’s past blessings like Israel did this strengthens perseverance.SUMMARY & VERSEMain Point: Persistent prayer springs from trust in God’s faithfulness.Key Verse: “Will not God see justice done to his chosen who cry to him day and night?” (Luke 18:7)PrayerLord, strengthen my faith when I grow tired in prayer. Teach me to trust Your timing and to persevere like the widow. Walk with me today and always. Amen.Support the show
