A widow steps out of scripture today to teach us about persistence in prayer. The widow is acquainted with grief as one among many marginalized and vulnerable people, but also as a woman who stands her ground in her quest for justice. The unnamed widow repeatedly appeals for justice and finally is vindicated. Many have known persistent prayer as a kind of wrestling with God. Many have pleaded with God for justice and mercy. Today God’s grace and mercy is known in the blessing of baptismal remembrance and our identity as beloved children of God.
