Fr. Corwin preaches on the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, when we make our prayers of petition to God does He listen to us? Does He care? We all have hope that God will grant us our desires, today’s Gospel is about the widow making persistent petitions. The point of prayer of petition is to practice to align our will to God’s. Over time, with continual prayer, we learn to love him more and we begin to change our will to be that which is God’s will. Listen, learn and pray without ceasing.
