Faithfulness, faith and prayer.
God is faithful. He is true to his
promises, steady in his allegiance,
merciful, compassionate and loving. He loves us so
much that he sent his only Son to die for our sins.
That level of faithfulness inspires faith. Faith, in
itself a gift from God, does not require repeated
proofs. We are convinced of God’s fidelity to his
promises as made through Jesus Christ, manifested
in Christ’s death and resurrection. Faith grows when
one has unwavering trust in another person. Our
faith in God requires humility and gratitude. When
our faith is strong, it is easily expressed and readily
shared.
Bartimaeus, the blind beggar, approaches Jesus with
a fervent request, Master, I want to see. Jesus
responds to the beggar’s deep faith: Go your way,
your faith has saved you. Immediately, the blind
man can see and he follows Jesus.
We, too, seek Jesus’ help, whenever we pray. We
cannot see him, but we call out, confident that he will
answer. Because Jesus has already been faithful to
us, we approach our Saviour, our redeemer, our
friend – and we ask for his help, we beg for his mercy
and we plead for his miracles.
Jesus does not tire of our prayers. His Spirit inspires
us to speak them. Our faith reminds us of his
faithfulness and the salvation he has already won for
us.

Il Signore e’ la Luce del mondo, chi segue
Gesu’ non sara’ mai nelle tenebre dell’errore
e dell’odio.
Tutti noi siamo bisognosi di luce e dobbiamo
invocare l’intervento del Signore perche’ ci
liberi dalle tenebre e dall’ombra della morte
eterna.
