“Pray always and don’t lose heart.”
According to the writer of Luke’s Gospel this was Jesus’ advice to his disciples: Pray always and don’t lose heart. Keep praying and don’t lose the courage of your convictions—don’t give up hope, whatever happens.

By the time this story gets ...

The Collect of the Day—our theme-prayer for the week—gives us a lens through which we can view two of the lessons from Holy Scripture we’ve heard this morning; it’s the lens of gratitude.

What do you suppose Jesus had in mind when he suggested such a thing?

Or, as the good old King James Version (and the good old Revised Standard Version that ...
