Laziness Fresh Gospel of the day: Luke18:1-8(October20, 2013-Sunday) Luke 18:1-8-And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? This is reminding us to become consistent and persistent in praying to our God. In Sirach7:10- do not be lazy in praying to God. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17-Pray without ceasing. How many times do you pray daily? The woman in our gospel is referring to us who are always asking something from God but the loophole do we have is “laziness” in prayers. The Judge is our God who will give and answer our prayers if we will imitate the attitude of the woman in her consistency in coming to Him. In Matthew 7:7-Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Therefore, pray constantly and heartily: SPONSORED:Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO. St. Peter Calungsod, pray for us!
