Our prayer needs to be continuous and confident like the prayer of Jesus, our model: Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.  I knew that thou hearest me always.  God is always listening to our prayers.  We need to ‘bother’ Jesus as the widow did towards the judge in the parable of  today’s gospel.  We should be confident that our perseverance in our prayer will gain heaven for us and those that we pray for.

O God, who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church, throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst our people many priests deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making you known & loved by all.  Through the intercession of our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord.
