A Reflection from our Administrator
27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
How strong is our faith in God and how can we grow in it? Faith is not something vague, uncertain, undefin-able, or something which requires a leap of the imagination or worse, some kind of blind allegiance. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Faith is a response of trust and belief in what is reliable, truthful, certain, and real. To have faith is to believe and trust in someone or something. We believe in the power of electricity even though we can't visibly see it with the naked eye. We know we can tap into that power and use it to do things we could not do by our own human power. Faith in God works in a similar way. Jesus is God's visible proof that his word is reliable and true - his love is unfailing and unconditional - and his power is immeasurably great and unlimited.
What did Jesus mean when he said to his disciples that our faith can move trees and mountains as well (Luke 17:5-6)? The term "mountain remover" was used for someone who could solve great problems and difficulties. What appears impossible to human power is possible to those who believe in God's power. Faith is a gift freely given by God to help us know God personally, to understand his truth, and to live in the power of his love. God expects more from us than we can simply do by ourselves. That is why Jesus gives us the gift and power of the Holy Spirit who helps us to grow strong in faith, persevere in hope, and endure in love. For our faith to be ef-fective it must be linked with trust and with obedience - an active submission to God and a willingness to do whatever he commands. Do we trust in the grace and strength which God freely gives to help us resist tempta-tion and to overcome obstacles in doing his will?
