REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 12 NOVEMBER 2011

The parable is a little confusing to me, but with some study, the beauty starts to reveal itself. The widow is the least able to defend herself in ancient society of the time of Christ, therefore a fair decision by the judge is important.

If even the most unfair and unjust judge renders a good decision, how much more will we be rewarded for looking after those on earth who need our help. An unimaginable love and justice for us.

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 11 NOVEMBER 2011

We should be ready at any time for the calling. We cannot save our lives here on earth by trying to extend it, or by surrounding ourselves with our own possessions and pride.

We will not be judged twice, so might as well try and get ourselves right the first and only time around.
