27th Week in OT
Jesus is teaching the Apostles of two millennia ago and us today, in order for our faith to be increased, we must be truly humble and acknowledge all that I have and all that I offer is a gift from God. Naturally then, Faith increases when we are willing to “bear our share of hardship for the Gospel with the strength that comes from God.” Here is the mystery, faith of this intensity, even if it's as tiny as that of a mustard seed can make a miracle happen!
The opening prayer for Mass, known as the Collect is this:
Almighty ever-living God,
who in the abundance of your kindness
surpass the merits and the desires of those
who entreat you,
pour out your mercy upon us
to pardon what conscience dreads
and to give what prayer does not dare to ask.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit
God, forever and ever.
It would be good this week, to consider in our prayers, how each of us beg for the “strength that comes from God” to have faith as small as a mustard seed.
May God Bless you!
Fr. Craig
