First Reading – Wisdom 18:14-16; 19:6-9
14 When peaceful stillness compassed everything and the night in its swift course was half spent,
15 Your all-powerful word, from heaven’s royal throne bounded,
16 a fierce warrior, into the doomed land, bearing the sharp sword of your inexorable decree. And as he alighted, he filled every place with death; he still reached to heaven, while he stood upon the earth.
6 For all creation, in its several kinds, was being made over anew, serving its natural laws, that your children might be preserved unharmed.
7 The cloud overshadowed their camp; and out of what had before been water, dry land was seen emerging: Out of the Red Sea an unimpeded road, and a grassy plain out of the mighty flood.
8 Over this crossed the whole nation sheltered by your hand, after they beheld stupendous wonders.
9 For they ranged about like horses, and bounded about like lambs, praising you, O Lord! their deliverer.

Gospel Reading for November 18 2023 – Luke 18:1-8
1 Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary.
2 He said, “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being.
3 And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’
4 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,
5 because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’”
6 The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says.
7 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?
8 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?”
