Today’s Catholic Reflection
In the first reading from 3 John, the author praises a faithful person for their support of fellow believers, especially those they do not know. This individual's love has been recognized by the Church. Their commitment to helping others on their spiritual journey stands out. The text encourages the community to assist those who serve God's purpose. It highlights the importance of supporting those who share the Gospel.
In the Gospel from Luke, we hear a parable about a persistent widow seeking justice from a judge who does not care for God or people. Despite his indifference, he grants her request because of her constant appeals. Jesus tells this story to show that if an unjust judge can be moved, then God, who is just and loving, will surely listen to His chosen ones. The passage ends with a question about faith, inviting us to reflect on our belief when the Son of Man returns.
