(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (October 20, 2013)

Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Ps. 121:2) Who is the widow (the poor, the exploited, or marginalized) person in your/our community who is pleading for justice today? How are you/we responding as disciples of Jesus? Who or what helps you to persist in prayer? What results have you experienced because of persistent prayer? If you are still waiting for those results, what sustains your patience?
