When You Wish Upon a Star

Fr. Justin reminds us of the importance of maintaining faith and hope in a world that often seems cynical and despairing. The parable of the persistent widow from Luke's Gospel encourages us not to lose heart. Just as the widow persevered in seeking justice from an unjust judge, we too are called to persist in our faith, trusting in God's ultimate goodness and justice. As we navigate our complex world, we're urged to hold onto the 'happy ending' promised by our faith, not as naive wishful thinking, but as a trust in God’s promises that can sustain us through life's challenges.
