Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 105:2-3, 36-37, 42-43

Sing to him, sing praises to him!
Tell of all his marvelous works.
Glory in his holy name.
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
He struck also all the firstborn in their land,
the first fruits of all their manhood.
He brought them out with silver and gold.
There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
For he remembered his holy word,
and Abraham, his servant.
He brought his people out with joy,
his chosen with singing.

Gospel, Luke 18:1-8

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
saying,
“There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God, and didn’t respect man.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
The Lord said,
“Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
