Towards Living Faith
Titus 1: 1-9; Lk 17: 1-6
Jesus throws challenge after challenge at his followers: to correct one's brother or sister who is erring, to readily forgive brothers and sisters, not to cause a brother or sister to sin or to falter... the challenges seem so demanding but just one prayer that the disciples make sums up all that it takes to face these challenges and live up to them. The prayer: "Lord, Increase our faith" (Lk 17:5).
Faith is the answer to all these, because faith is not merely something that we possess, but a relationship to which we commit. It is a personal relationship with God, a total personal response to a God who reveals Godself in unconditional love and absolute concern. It is something in which we continuously grow, being mindful of the danger anytime retract into ways that are not worthy of the one who has created us, called us and commissioned us! Faith, if really living, will find a solution to many a problem in today's life, because it is fundamentally a God-inspired way of life.
