Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

The Lord said, “Will not God then

secure the rights of God’s chosen ones

who call out to God day and night?”

Reflection:

The judge in today’s parable cannot be taken as representing God, for he “neither feared God nor respected any human being.” But can we see in the widow an image of our God?

She is a persistent voice for justice for the poor and those without voice in our society. Like our God, she will not stop her cry for justice until it is given.

So, we ask ourselves:

• What voice speaks a persistent message for justice in our parish? In our church? In our world?

• How do those voices affect your choices and actions?
