In today’s gospel, the apostles come to Jesus and say to him, “Lord, Increase our faith!” (LK 17: t-10). The apostles know that their faith is not adequate. They are men of little faith.
They take steps to improve their faith. What steps have we taken in these past years to develop our faith? How many retreats, formations, seminars and Bible study classes have we attended? How many homilies have we heard? How many books we have read? These are means through which the Lord increases our faith.
Faith makes things happen. Faith makes - Heaven real. God Real. Life Real. We are not in a dream world. Whenever we face crisis in our life we need to pray, "Lord, increase our faith."
We are afraid when we need not be afraid; we are discouraged when we need not be discourage. We do not use the little bit of faith that we have and trust in God to make things come out right. A faith that is rooted in Jesus can achieve the impossible things in our lives.
