Today’s Catholic Reflection
In Exodus, the Israelites face a battle against Amalek. Moses tells Joshua to lead the fight while he stands on a hill with God's staff. As long as Moses keeps his hands raised, Israel wins. When he grows tired, Aaron and Hur support him. With their help, Moses holds his hands up until sunset, leading to Joshua's victory.
The Psalm speaks of trust in the Lord as a protector. It reassures that God watches over His people, ensuring their safety at all times. In 2 Timothy, believers are encouraged to stay true to their faith and the teachings of Scripture. These teachings come from God and guide righteous living. The Gospel shares a parable about persistent prayer, showing that God will respond to those who seek justice. It contrasts the unjust judge's decision with God's faithful care for His chosen ones.
