Today’s readings speak of the importance of having faith. Faith requires believing without proof, which can be very difficult.
Perhaps your faith is more like Abraham’s than mine. I admit I struggle with articulating my faith in the absence of absolute proof, but if scientists can build on faith so can I. I cannot prove the existence of God, but I do see evidence of God every day in the people and world around me. I see God as the order in the chaos. I feel God’s presence in my heart. So I have faith and I believe. I pray the Holy Spirit will continue to strengthen these gifts in me.
