On being a nuisance
Commentary
Revealed through his parables is the unique ability of Jesus to present us with cameo glimpses of the way things so often are in this world. At the center of the parable that provides today's gospel reading we meet an uncaring judge impervious to Divine influence and deaf to the cries for justice raised by the weak and powerless whom the widow represents. Here is the legal system weighed on the side of power and privilege. If this were not the case in so many places on this planet there would be no need for organizations like Amnesty International.
