Saturday of the 18th week Year. C. Mt. 17:14-20

The failure of the disciples to heal the young boy with epilepsy teaches us that our success does not rest on our skills and personal strength but on our deep faith and relationship with God. Faith in Christ can move mountains. It is important to pray for the increase of our faith than to pray for the improvement of our skills.  For with faith, nothing is impossible! Paul sums this up beautifully for us: " Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame" (Romans 5:3-4). Somebody said about faith like this: “Doubt sees the obstacles, Faith sees the way! Doubt sees the darkest night, Faith sees the day! Doubt dreads to take a step, Faith soars on high! Doubt questions, ‘Who believes?' Faith answers, 'I'." 

Jesus, I trust in you
