Sunday, March 22 – Lenten Journey 2020 Day 28 of 40
On the importance of prayer in life, Jesus offers the parable
of the Unjust Judge (Luke 18:1-8), a story for which this Sunday of Lent is
named. Here is a man who doesn’t fear God nor respect people, is “worn down” by
a poor widow seeking justice and persistently calling on him. St. Luke prefaces
this story by saying that Jesus spoke this parable to show that we “must always
pray and not be discouraged.” (vs. 1) Prayer is our conversation with God,
which at times may seem like a monologue on our part. Instead let us appeal to
the simple words that are the starting point of our daily prayer. They are
words prescribed by our Lord, “Thy will be done.” (Matthew 6:10)
