Today’s Thoughts: Faith is the focus of our readings today. In the first reading the Prophet Habakkuk questions God in faith. He wants to understand why things happen the way they do but ultimately, he trusts in his relationship and his journey with God.
In our Gospel today, we learn that faith is about going all in, loving with everything we have, and we see what happens when we are not faithful. Jesus becomes exasperated with the people and his disciples because of their lack of faith. The disciples are still not all in. They are still hedging their bets with Jesus and thus they struggled driving out the demon from the young boy. Faith demands a commitment. We cannot be lukewarm, we cannot do just the minimum. Faith can be as small as a mustard seed, but we need to be all in with our whole heart, our whole soul and all our strength. Have a blessed, holy, safe, and healthy Saturday everyone!
