the Sunday of unrighteous Judge |
|
In the Armenian Church Tradition the 5th Sunday of the Great Lent is called the Sunday of unrighteous Judge.
Through the parables in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus teaches us that we should pray continuously and persistently like the widow appealing her case to the judge. While we pray we should be as humble as the tax collector asking for the God’s mercy. These parable encourages us that our prayers will not be left unanswered. |
