20th Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 24

Luke 18:1-8

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to
lose heart.  He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither
feared God nor had respect for people.  In that city there was a widow who
kept coming to him and saying, 'Grant me justice against my opponent.'
For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, 'Though I have no
fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps
bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by
continually coming.'"  And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge
says.  And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him
day and night?  Will he delay long in helping them?  I tell you, he will
quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he
find faith on earth?"
