The Persistent Widow: The Secret to Prayer That Compels God to Act (Luke 18, 1-8)
Comments on the Holy Gospel of the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, using the Catena Aurea. In the Gospel for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus reveals the key to effective prayer: persistence (importunity). Through the parable of the widow and the unjust judge, He teaches us that if persistence overcomes human unwillingness, how much more will it reach the Father's heart! The central point is the certainty that God will bring about justice for His chosen ones who cry out day and night. The video uses the Catena Aurea to unveil how faith and perseverance go hand in hand in prayer. The Catena Aurea (Golden Chain), compiled by Saint Thomas Aquinas, organizes the insights of the great Church Fathers and Doctors on the four Gospels, offering a rich and timeless understanding of the Scriptures.
