Luke 18:1
Douay-Rheims
And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
Augustine of Hippo
(ut sup.) Our Lord adds this to shew, that when faith fails, prayer dies. In order to pray then, we must have faith, and that our faith fail not, we must pray. Faith pours forth prayer, and the pouring forth of the heart in prayer gives stedfastness to faith.
