His chosen ones

“Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. 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? 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?” (LK 18: 6-8)

On one hand, we have God, who listens, “secures our rights” and is fast “to answer.” On the other hand, there is us, “His chosen ones,” “who call out to him day and night.” Our God never changes; He always comes and always answers. The problematic part is on our side: “when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

“God has called us through the Gospel, to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Gospel Acclamation)
