I - Wis. 1: 1-7
II - Lk. 17: 1-6
HAVE FAITH AND HAVE ALL
The three takeaways for life from the Gospel passage of the day are: One, not to be a cause of stumbling to anyone; secondly, to forgive an offender again and again, untiringly and unceasingly; and finally anything is possible to the one who has faith.
Faith in the Lord leads to fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Any wise person would certainly abide by the Word of God and avoid all that is forbidden by the Lord. Hence, he/she would dare not to be a scandal to anyone and would dare to accomplish all that is commanded by the Law of the Lord. Let our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “Lord Jesus fill us with faith”.
