29 Sun C / the value of perseverance

Why the widow finally got justice ? because of her perseverance !
Why Jesus finally got justice ? because of his perseverance !
Why the Jesus-movement got finally justice ? bc of perseverance !
Lk 18.1-8 don't ask: what is  justice - but he shows to the new
believers: in our society, in our culture - you will get your just goal
only by perseverance!

There is a time you have to be busy to discover your vocation...
later it's time to clear up your vocation
but finally only by perseverance you will achieve your goal.

What is the method "never to lose heart" ?
1.) Our own experiences and the experiences of many people shows me:
     perseverance will bring fruit.
2.) "to keep the way" or "keep going" - it's good to have a clear and attractive
     picture of your goal.
3.) "go together, not alone". Friends are the best "vitamine" for perseverance.

One glimpse deeper: the cosmos and the nature shows to everybody:
to keep life going, you need a certain balance and the readiness to change!

Tomorrow we will have Baby-Baptism in "Fatima-Church"; we invite baby's
to follow Jesus Christ...   it's only possible as we integrate them into the
Church-Community. We hope they once will get a good spiritual leader
showing them how to go "step by step" ...

As a child I have learnt to go by feet, as a boy I have gone by bicycle, as a young man I drove a car, later I used the aiplane...   great changes - one goal.
