Readings for the Week

Reading for Sunday, October 20:

Ex 17:8-13: Moses prays without ceasing, not losing heart despite physical fatigue.

2 Tm 3:14-4:2: The Bible is the source of teaching, the safe guide for the man of God in every good work.

Lk 18:1-8: Jesus urges us to pray without ceasing and to have faith in the goodness of God.

Today’s Message: Through incessant prayer, we open ourselves more fully to understanding God’s will. Through faith in the power of prayer, we experience God’s love and assistance. Our Christian life is nourished by the scriptures we read and by our received tradition.
