Gospel, Luke 18:1-8

¹ Then he told them a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart.

² 'There was a judge in a certain town,' he said, 'who had neither fear of God nor respect for anyone.

³ In the same town there was also a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, "I want justice from you against my enemy!"

⁴ For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, "Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for any human person,

⁵ I must give this widow her just rights since she keeps pestering me, or she will come and slap me in the face." '

⁶ And the Lord said, 'You notice what the unjust judge has to say?

⁷ Now, will not God see justice done to his elect if they keep calling to him day and night even though he still delays to help them?

⁸ I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith on earth?'

Reading 2, Second Timothy 3:14-4:2

¹⁴ You must keep to what you have been taught and know to be true; remember who your teachers were,

¹⁵ and how, ever since you were a child, you have known the holy scriptures -from these you can learn the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ All scripture is inspired by God and useful for refuting error, for guiding people's lives and teaching them to be upright.

¹⁷ This is how someone who is dedicated to God becomes fully equipped and ready for any good work.

¹ Before God and before Christ Jesus who is to be judge of the living and the dead, I charge you, in the name of his appearing and of his kingdom:

² proclaim the message and, welcome or unwelcome, insist on it. Refute falsehood, correct error, give encouragement -- but do all with patience and with care to instruct.

They are waiting for you. Will you answer?
