Daily Retreat 01/31/09
2009 Jan 31 Sat: John Bosco, p, rf M
Heb 11: 1-2. 8-19/ Lk 1: 69-70. 71-72. 73-75/ Mk 4: 35-41
From today’s readings: “Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.... Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel; He has come to His people.... Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?”
Faith of our Fathers
The eleventh chapter of the Letter to the Hebrews recalls some of the great things that were brought about because of the faith of our biblical ancestors. Read the whole chapter, and then recall also a few if the great things that have been brought about because of the faith of your own more recent forbears. And then look back over your own life, and trace the flood of blessings unleashed with your own faith. Then you’ll be well on your way to appreciating why this chapter was written - to fathom the fantastic fullness of faith!
