"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you." Lk 17:5
Faith is a strange and wonderful gift. While many of us spend our lives teaching about it, faith's mystery always remains. Faith can never be quantified or measured, only treasured. How strange then to hear the apostles in today’s gospel say, "increase our faith," almost as if it were like turning up the volume on the TV.Taking a leap of faith means letting God do God’s work. Speaking more loudly about faith is often the exact wrong practise. Sometimes faith demands we stop, listen, listen again and wait for others to hear God, not us.
Today, join the apostles and ask for an increase of faith for yourself and those closest to you.
How do you respond when you are not sure what to say to others to help them?
