History has demonstrated the power of persistence.
For with persistence the Israelites conquered the Amalekites who attacked them.
With persistence, the judge in Jesus's parable finally granted the widow's request for a just judgment.
If a judge who doesn't fear God can give in, imagine how much more, Jesus says, God will grant our requests through persistence.
We poise ourselves to continue persistently by growing in relationship with God, continuing in what we have learned from our encounters with Him in Holy Scripture, doing it, as St. Paul writes, in season and out of season. It is from Scripture that we are equipped for the work of faith, and persist in it.
