Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Luke 18 and the parable of the persistent widow and the dishonest judge. Jesus teaches the necessity of praying always, but the parable ultimately reveals something deeper about Him. The true parallel is not between God and the judge, but between Jesus and the widow—both are those who come. Jesus continually comes before the Father and continually comes for us, inviting us into His own prayer and faith. In Him, perseverance in prayer becomes participation in the very life of God.
