Saturday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time

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.
