TODAY’S WORD…
.
We ask God
to fill you with the knowledge of His will,
with all the wisdom and understanding that His Spirit gives.
Then you will be able to live as the Lord wants
and will always do what pleases Him.
Your lives will produce all kinds of good deeds,
and you will grow in your knowledge of God.
.
May you be made strong
with all the strength which comes from His glorious power,
so that you may be able to endure everything with patience.
.
And with joy give thanks to the Father,
who has made you fit to have your share
of what God has reserved for His people in the kingdom of light.
.
He rescued us from the power of darkness
and brought us safe into the kingdom of His dear Son,
by whom we are set free,
that is, our sins are forgiven.
.
– Colossians 1:9-14 (NLT)

YEAR OF FAITH 2012-2013
FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…
.
Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God
and believe all that He has said and revealed to us,
and that Holy Church proposes for our belief,
because He is Truth itself.
.
By faith man freely commits his entire self to God.
For this reason the believer seeks to know and do God’s will.
.
"The righteous shall live by faith."(Rom 1:17)
.
Living faith "work[s] through charity."(Gal 5:6)
[CCC 1814]

A LAMP TO MY FEET. A LIGHT FOR MY PATH.
