TODAY’S WORD…

.

“Increase our faith!”

.

– Luke 17:5 (NRSV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

We need perseverance and humility.

The way for us to follow, to be with Jesus and like Jesus,

must be taken with a determined faith and dedicated humility.

.

As we follow Jesus we feel inadequate

and consequently we ask Jesus to ”increase our faith.”

.

Faith is to settle permanently in God,

and it is really not a matter of quantity but of quality;

of authenticity rather than of effort.

.

Each one of us in our everyday life, can bear witness to Christ through God’s grace.

We do this with the power of faith

– that authentic, humble yet strong faith that we get from God in prayer.

.

“Prayer is the breath of faith.” – Pope Francis

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…
