In today’s Gospel reflection from Luke, Fr. Chris Alar explores the profound lesson of persistent prayer. Jesus shares the parable of the man who, despite a late-night visit, is convinced to provide for his neighbor’s need. Fr. Chris reminds us that prayer is our way of acknowledging God’s authority in our lives and asking for His help. Even when our prayers seem unanswered, God always responds with love and wisdom, sometimes in ways we may not immediately understand.
