Never weary of praying, fellow. We know people like that, pray for others at the drop of an email message about sickness, death, and other catastrophes.

Gospel lk 18:1-8

Jesus told his disciples a parable
about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary.
He said, “There was a judge in a certain town
who neither feared God nor respected any human being.
And a widow in that town used to come to him and say,
‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’
For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought,
‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being,
because this widow keeps bothering me
I shall deliver a just decision for her
lest she finally come and strike me.’”
The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says.
Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones
who call out to him day and night?
Will he be slow to answer them?
I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily.
But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

​Faith on earth in men of good will.​

Later: and women! Sorry.

Is there something in this about school voucher programs? Or more to the practical point, federal aid to your favorite Catholic institute of higher learning?

Third Letter of John, 5-8:

Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers and sisters,
especially for strangers;
they have testified to your love before the Church.
Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey.
For they have set out for the sake of the Name
and are accepting nothing from the pagans.
Therefore, we ought to support such persons,
so that we may be co-workers in the truth.

Take nothing from the pagans? From U.S. Government and become ‘holden to them? Fair question?

​How an honest prosecutor in the early ’30s slowed down the Nazi machine:

Hitler’s First Victims exposes the chaos and fragility of the Nazis’ early grip on power and dramatically suggests how different history could have been had other Germans followed Hartinger’s example of personal courage in that time of collective human failure.​

Execution of four Jews in Dachau, when it was a detention center for political prisoners​, in 1933 led to evidence-gathering that led to Nuremburg in the mid-’50s.

It’s the story of a man of honor who did what he could at a time of crucial change.
