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?"

The Wisdom of Solomon 18:14-16; 19:6-9
18:14 For while peaceful silence wrapped all things,
and night in her own swiftness was half spent,
15 your all-powerful word leaped from heaven, from the royal throne,
a stern warrior, into the midst of the doomed land,
16 bearing as a sharp sword your authentic commandment,
and standing, it filled all things with death,
and while it touched the heaven it stood upon the earth.
19:6 For the whole creation, each part in its diverse kind, was made new again,
complying with your commandments,
that your servants might be kept unharmed.
7 Then the cloud that overshadowed the camp was seen,
and dry land rising up out of what had been 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 army,
these who 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.
