Deeper and trusting faith

Saturday of week 32, I

Lk. 18: 1 - 18

The book of Wisdom talks about a a night of silence and the leaping of the Word.  This is likened to the Christmas night, when in its silence, the Savior is born into the world for all to see.  He will bring us salvation; his reign is one of justice and peace.  He is Jesus who already came to our world to heal us.

In today's gospel, Jesus told a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart.  He described a powerful judge whose image projects the overwhelming authority of God but who, at the same time, is also filled with mercy and generosity.

In these two accounts, the power of God is unquestionable; we just need to affirm his power in our lives as he provides for us each day.

This calls us to deeper and trusting faith.  He may not answer in the way we expect; but expect that his response would always be better.

May we also be instrumental in realizing the almost desperate prayers of our needy brothers and sisters and be instruments of the Lord to come to their aid.  God's power to save is everywhere!
