On the night of World Youth Day 2000, St. John Paul II continued to repeat the phrase: "Don’t give up!” Don't give in to the banal. In fact, we have an enemy and its name is “mediocrity” – the art of surviving just to get by. The habit of not loving anyone. The story of the lazy judge and the persistent widow is the story of the interior struggle within each one of us. We are poor and vulnerable like the widow, but there is a noble spirit within us who knows that our existence is not a mistake, that we are profoundly significant. But we also have a superficial spirit, a lazy judge who just wants to get by. Within us there is a battle between the profound and the superficial, between the noble and the banal. We pray in order not to lose sight of our greatness. At the end of the Gospel passage, Jesus asks: "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" The Son of Man comes to visit us often, through graces and tribulations. When he comes, he will find faith in us if we do not yield to our true enemy, mediocrity. We were made for much more.
