Sermon by Dcn. Robert Polen
19th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Discussion Questions
1. Read Luke 17:20-37. How does Jesus describe the context in which we are called to pray?
2. How does Jesus describe the hopelessness of the widow’s situation? How does this story encourage us to pray always and not lose heart?
3. How should we understand our experience of justice seeming to be delayed with Jesus’ promise that God will execute justice for his people speedily?
4. What might cause us to lose faith and stop praying for God’s kingdom justice? How can we encourage one another to be confident in our prayers to God for justice?
