Lectio Divina: 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (2025)

LK 18:1-8→ Jesus tells the parable of the unjust judge and the persistent widow to urge us not to lose heart in prayer; a judge who “neither feared God nor respected man” yields when the widow keeps asking (Lk 18:2‑5). Church teaches that this perseverance is a sign of true faith, for God will “grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night”. Pope Francis reminds us that such steadfast prayer is a source of mercy that sustains our hope for the Kingdom.
