Reflection

Today’s reading is a reminder that God moves powerfully in silence and answers those who call on Him with perseverance.

In the Book of Wisdom, God’s saving action comes in a moment of absolute stillness. His Word descends not with noise, but with purpose. This teaches us that God works even when we cannot see or feel movement.

In the Gospel, Jesus urges us to “pray always and not lose heart.” The widow refuses to give up. She keeps showing up, keeps asking, keeps believing that justice will be given. Her persistence transforms what seemed impossible.

Jesus’ question at the end is the heart of today:
“When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?” (Lk 18:8)

Faith is not proven in comfort but in endurance, praying when tired, trusting when confused, staying faithful when life feels silent. God is not slow. God is forming us. And He promises justice, mercy, and deliverance in His perfect time.

Today, ask yourself:
Where is God inviting me to persevere?
Where must I pray again, trust again, rise again?

May we be found faithful, like the widow who refused let go.

God bless and have a wonderful weekend.
