This Sunday invite us to reflect on the power of persistent prayer and faith that never gives up. Through this story of the widow, Jesus teaches us the importance of persistence in prayer. Prayer is not about changing God’s mind but about forming our hearts to trust more deeply in His love and timing. Like the widow, we are called to keep praying even when God seems silent or when our situation looks hopeless. This shows our faith that God is present and working, even in hidden ways. Aaron and Hur supported the arms of Moses from faltering, which gave the Israelites victory over the Amalekites. This is a beautiful image of community in prayer—how we must support one another, especially when someone’s faith grows weak. Prayer is not a solitary act; it is the strength of God’s people united in faith. Therefore, St. Paul, urges Timothy and all of us to remain faithful to Scripture and to proclaim the Word “whether it is convenient or inconvenient.” In a world that often forgets God, our persistence in prayer and in living the Gospel becomes a witness of faith. Brethren, the message is clear: Do not lose heart. Keep praying, keep believing, keep trusting. God may not answer our prayers exactly as we wish, but He always answers in the way that leads to our salvation. Prayer is not wasted effort—it keeps our hearts open to God’s transforming grace. Let us be like the widow—humble, patient, and persistent. Let us also be like Aaron and Hur supporting Moses—supporting one another in faith. And may our prayer, both personal and communal, keep us rooted in the Word of God until the Son of Man comes again and finds faith alive in our hearts. Fr. Patrice
