Luke 18:1

New Catholic Bible

The Parable of the Importunate Widow.^[a] ¹Then Jesus told them a parable about the need for them to pray always and never to lose heart.

Luke 18:1 We might ask whether prayer is useless or whether it is unfitting to remain insistent in God’s presence. This parable recommends a tenacious persistence. If the Lord is tardy in coming or in responding, it is to allow time for conversion and for faith. But the prayer of believers is not a cry in the wind. It is especially necessary during the end times, which will be a great trial for the faith and for trust in the Lord.
