2. The Widow and the Unjust Judge (Luke 18:1-8) - men ought always to pray

3. The Pharisee and the Publican (Luke 18:9-14) - the humble will be exalted

Explanation:

1. The Lord gave an example designed to show that God wants to hear the requests of His children and give answers to them. Persistence here is called intensified and prolonged prayer with patience.

2. This parable speaks of the need for a constant prayer of a person in the face of God. No matter how hard it may be for a person in life, and no matter how unbearable his worldly sorrow may seem to him, he should not be depressed, but constantly pray to God with deep faith that protection will come soon.

3. The parable of the publican and the Pharisee teaches us how, with what feeling one has to pray. Pride is the source of many vices, but humility is a great, truly Christian virtue.
