Faith



Let it be done for you according to your faith.—Matt 9:29

My reading from the Maxims of Bro. Lawrence today began with this quote: All things are possible to him who believes, they are less difficult to him who hopes, they are easier to him who loves, and still more easy to him who practices and perseveres in these three virtues.  And from another source I read that faith is to have total trust in God. And from still another source: Half-measures get me half-results. Am I satisfied with that? Alas for me, sometimes my faith is pretty limited. My expectations of God are at very human levels. Somehow I cannot let God be God. I want my faith to be Big. I want my faith to be True. I want my faith to be Full. I want the result of my faith to be Big and True and Full as well. That is my part. Today , O Lord, let me have total trust in You. To live this way is trekking Catholic.
