~About St Clement's~
Ordinary Time
The 18th Sunday after Trinity
Brothers and sisters,
This Sunday's gospel reading extols the virtues of nagging - well, sort of.
By the parable of the widow persistently calling out for justice, Jesus is reminding us of the importance of persistence in our own prayer life.
Unlike the unjust judge, who is indifferent to the pleading of the widow, God is just and loving. As such, if the widow can be confident that her persistence will eventually be heard and bear fruit, how much more confident ought we to be that our heavenly Father will hear and respond favourably to our prayers.
Every blessing,
Fr Myles
Rector
