Gospel : Luke 18:1-8

1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

2 saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who didn't fear God, and didn't respect man.

3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Defend me from my adversary!'

4 He wouldn't for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,

5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"

6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.

7 Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Wisdom of Solomon 18:14-16; 19:6-9

18:14 For while peaceful silence enwrapped all things,
And night in her own swiftness was in mid course,

15 Your all-powerful word lept from heaven out of the royal throne,
A stern warrior, into the midst of the doomed land,

16 Bearing as a sharp sword your unfeigned commandment;
And standing it filled all things with death;
And while it touched the heaven it trode upon the earth.

19:6 For the whole creation, each part in its several kind, was fashioned again anew,
Ministering to your several commandments,
That your servants might be guarded free from hurt.

7 Then the cloud that shadowed the camp was seen,
And dry land rising up out of what before was water,
Out of the Red sea an unhindered highway,
And a grassy plain out of the violent surge;

8 By which they passed over with all their hosts,
These that were covered with your hand,
Having seen strange marvels.

9 For like horses they roamed at large,
And they skipped about like lambs,
Praising you, O Lord, who was their deliverer.
