  • Will He Find Faith on Earth (10/19/2025)

    The Gospel passage today is the story of the persistent widow and the unjust judge. Jesus ends this story with the haunting question; “But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Jesus is referring to the second coming. The title “Son of Man” is one that is used to describe the Messiah, though it is sometimes used in the bible to describe a man. So this can be confusing to us. But the way Jesus phrases this question makes it clear He is referring to Himself at the end of time when He will come to judge everyone.

    His question is a little scary. Will humankind cease to have faith in the God who created them? It seems crazy to think everyone would turn away from God, but sometimes when you see the headlines and listen to what is going on in the world it seems that many have already turned away from belief and lack faith.

    But we are not without hope! In our own parishes we see people who practice their faith even in difficult situations. Some of our parishioners struggle with health issues, family problems, work or school difficulties, yet continue to worship God and give Him praise for the many blessings that still remain in their lives. It takes determination to face the struggles of life and know God is there with you in the midst of every problem. And many of us do just that. I see new faces, those who are learning about God and His Church. They uplift my soul with their desire to know God and build their faith lives. So I have hope that we, as a people of God, will continue to have faith. Let’s show our Lord that we do have faith. Let’s worship well, praise Him, and show others what an amazing difference faith has in our lives. And may God bless you!
