Resilience Through Difficulty
Show Notes

 Jesus told a parable “toward the necessity” that his hearers might be urged to pray persistently and not be discouraged. It was the story of a woman - a widow - who nevertheless persisted in crying for justice from an unjust judge who self-avowedly neither feared God nor respected people. As we emerge to resurrected life as a church community, may we grow in resilience and persistence - in the face of all that is different, hard, uncomfortable. And may we tune into the voices around us persistently crying for justice.
