Gospel, Saint, prayer of November 18st

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 18,1-8.
At that time, Jesus told his disciples a parable about the need to always pray, without getting tired:
“There was a judge in a city who didn't fear God and had no regard for anyone.
In that city there was also a widow, who came to him and said to him: Do me justice against my opponent.
For a time he did not want to; but then he said to himself: Even if I don't fear God and have no respect for anyone,
since this widow is so troublesome I will do her justice, so that she does not continually bother me ».
And the Lord added, "You have heard what the dishonest judge says.
And will God not do justice to his elect who cry out day and night to him, and make them wait long?
I tell you he will do them justice promptly. But when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth? ».
