Luke 18:1-8

[print_link]

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to continually pray without losing heart. He said, «There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God and had no respect for people. And a widow in that same city came to him and said, ‘Do justice for me against my adversary.’»

«For a time the judge refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I do not fear God and care nothing for people, yet because this widow keeps troubling me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will just keep coming until she wears me out.»

And the Lord said, «Hear what the unjust judge said. Will not God grant justice to his chosen, who cry out to him day and night? Will he be slow in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly give them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?»
