Our first reading today speaks about Moses and His persistence in prayer. Keeping his hands raised to God, with the support of Aaron and Hur, allowed Joshua to win victory in the battle against Amalek. St. Paul continues the lesson on faithful and persistent prayer when he says, “Proclaim the Word whether it is convenient or inconvenient, all scripture is inspired so that those who belong to God may be competent and equipped for good work.” God does not call the most equipped, but equips those whom He calls into His service. Be not afraid to answer His call. In today’s gospel Jesus tells the parable of the “persistent widow” who constantly nags the unjust judge so continually that he finally renders a JUST decision for her. Jesus is the JUST JUDGE. Imitate the nagging widow with faithful, persistent prayer and move the Heart of God. AT THE END OF THIS GOSPEL, JESUS ASKS, “WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMES, WILL HE FIND FAITH ON EARTH?” WILL YOU BE …A FAITHFUL ONE? Would you like to become Catholic or complete your Sacraments? Would you like to join the RCIA team? Please join us in the Parish House, Thursday evenings, 7:00pm or call Carol Mangani, 973-283-2218, for more information.

St. Catherine of Siena Church, Mt. Lakes, is happy to present music by Anthony Newman.

Admission free, light reception to follow.

First Reading: Exodus 17:8-13 Amalek and his people attacked the Israelites, so Moses instructed Joshua to lead some of the Israelites into battle the next day. While Moses kept his hands raised in prayer, the Israelites were winning. But when he put his hands down, they would begin to lose. So two others helped him keep his hands raised, and Joshua and the Israelites won the battle.

Second Reading: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:2 Paul tells Timothy that the Scriptures are inspired by God and are an excellent tool in teaching others about God's expectations of his people. Knowledge of the Scriptures, coupled with faith in Jesus, will lead many people to salvation. Paul urges Timothy to continue preaching the gospel, although this will sometimes be a difficult task.

Gospel: Luke 18:1-8 Jesus speaks about a corrupt judge who lacked respect for either God or man. A widow repeatedly asked him to settle a case in her favor. He finally settled the case, only because he grew weary of listening to her requests. Jesus points out that if even this corrupt judge eventually listened, then God, who is just, will certainly answer the pleas of his people.

PRO-LIFE CORNER

Mary, Mother of God, we pray for all mothers who are afraid to be mothers. We pray for those who feel threatened and overwhelmed by their pregnancy. Intercede for them, that God may give them the grace to say yes and the courage to go on. May they have the grace to reject the false solution of abortion. May they say with you, "Be it done unto me according to your word." May they experience the help of Christian people, and know the peace that comes from doing God's will. Amen.
