Focusing
the Gospel
|
Key
words and phrases: Increase our faith, did what was commanded, So should it be with you |
To
the point: Jesus tells the disciples that even a smidgen of faith can achieve great things. How do we increase faith? Faith increases through decisive obedi- ence to what is commanded. How do we measure this kind of faith? We mea- sure our faith by measuring our faithfulness. The faithful disciple of Jesus is never finished serving. The faith of a disciple is never finished increasing.

Connecting
the Gospel...
|
...to
the first reading: The prophet Habakkuk shows us in the first reading where our never-finished, increasing faith leads: to life. |
...to experience: We tend to think of everyday responsibilities as mundane, and they are! But this gospel reveals the hidden dimension of such ordinary ac- tions—they reveal and increase our faith.
