REFLECTION
Last Sunday we were reminded of the need for gratitude; today’s parable encourages us to keep asking for what we need even if God does not answer our requests immediately. The Christian must be like the widow who pesters until she wins her case. We do not know why God delays; but when judgement is given, Jesus promises, it will be given quickly. The lesson in the first reading is also striking: we must persevere! The second reading calls for another kind of perseverance, fidelity to the truth of the Christian tradition . Scripture challenges us to fidelity and growth in holiness.
ACTIVITY REPORT 2022
So far in 2022, we have made over 174 home visits providing food and clothing vouchers, beds and other assistance to some 64 families in our parish and the immediate surroundings consisting of 115 children and 141 adults.
Please find the full report on the church’s bulletin boards and website with handouts at the back of the church.
