DESCRIPTION:Holy Communion for the 18th Sunday after Trinity: celebrant th
 e Revd Tola Badejo. Junior Church takes place at the same time in the hall
 .\n\nFirst Reading: 2 Timothy 3.14 - 4.5\nGospel:  Luke 18. 1 – 8 \n\nTo
 day's readings are both about patience and persistence. Paul exhorts Timot
 hy to persevere with his mission and to sustain his own faith\, even when 
 it is difficult to do so\, and in the Gospel Jesus uses a surprising metap
 hor to convey the importance of perseverance in prayer. The parable of the
  unjust judge is not really about the judge at all\, but about the widow\,
  and the way she sustains her belief in justice despite discouragement.   
  \n\nThe widow is brought to the foreground in the painting (above and att
 ached) by the Dutch artist Pieter de Grebber (1628\; © Szépművészeti M
 úzeum\, Budapest). Her radiant calm\, and the way she is shown as literal
 ly closing the book on her problems\, underlines the importance\, and the 
 rewards\, of sustaining faith and belief in the face of adversity.
