St Mary’s Catholic Parish Warwick EMBRACING THE COMMUNITIES OF:
St Mary’s, Warwick, Our Lady of Dolours, Greymare, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Gladfield and Our Lady of Fatima,
Karara 15th/169th October 2016 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Patient Wait ing Have you ever had a prayer answered after a long period of waiting? Have you ever prayed for something, only to give up when the prayer wasn't answered? What happened in each case? How does patience affect your prayer life?
"Hurry up and wait!" Famous words for the traveller. And words to be pondered in a prayer life.
Sometimes events that affect our spirit occur at breakneck speed. Others seem to take an eternity. God seems to answer some prayers now. Other prayers he answers “in the future." Many times, the prayers we need answered immediately involve eternal pressure, prejudice, or persecution. "Save us from this crisis!"
In Luke, Jesus taught God answers even these prayers. But in his own way. And in his own time. If we object to his means or his timing, can we really speak of a request in faith? Or are we really just complaining?
We welcome into our Parish Community through the Sacrament of Baptism

REFLECTION
It is unusual for an evangelist to be so explicit about the meaning of a parable but here, Luke tells us that this parable is ‘about the need to pray continually and never lose heart’. It is quite likely that those who listened to Jesus tell this story, were very familiar with judges who were a law unto them-selves and who did not dispense justice according to the demands of God and of Jewish law. Yet, even these will be persuaded to act in the face of persistence. As ever with Luke, it is not the rich and powerful who prevail but the poor or the weak—in this case, a widow. How much more then, will God act? He is not like the wicked judge. He will hear the persis-tent cry, especially of the poor, and will not delay in answer-ing. The real test of our faith in all this is to accept that God may answer our prayers in ways we do not expect or even desire. Prayer does not equate with making demands of God. Instead, it is openness to the presence of God in our lives and a willingness to accept his demands of us, whatever they may be.
How do you understand the ‘need to pray continually and never lose heart’?
‘What cries do you think go up to God day and night in our present age?
What would our world look like if justice were done?
