+ Our gospel passage today is critical to what it means to be
Catholic, to be Christian: it is all
about FAITH. And by faith / belief I just don’t mean – I believe I shall go to
the store. What FAITH is is a living energized power to communicate with God on
his own level. Without this gift, we cannot communicate with God on his own level.
The centurion in the gospel passage demonstrated great FAITH, and so Jesus
cured his serving boy – and note here – it wasn’t even his son – it was a
serving boy – which says volumes also about the centurion – what a
compassionate, caring and loving person he was: and this is the key, along with
faith, that unlocks the Hearts of Jesus and his Father every time.
Our faith then can move
mountains, it can effect curings and healings, it can be a secure foundation on
which to build our lives, and safely navigate through life in this vale of
tears.
A very appropriate application
of this faith / action – faith good works dynamic is in praying for and doing
all we can to reverse the curse of the presidential presence in the White House
in Washington – quite literally, the future of our country is in grave danger of
dissolution if we don’t.
This is not to influence
policy and true government activities, but the very wrong person is “driving
the bus” and he must be removed because he is steering a course that will enslave
freedom, and bring down not only our democratic system – but cast us into a subservient
role to the greater military and political governments of the world.
Come, Lord Jesus, we freely
give you our minds, bodies and lives to help right the ship before its too
late! Amen.
