FAITH THAT TRANSFORMS AND HUMBLE SERVICE
This Sunday’s liturgy invites us to reflect on the gift of faith and the attitude of humble discipleship. In the Gospel, the apostles plead, “Lord, increase our faith!” reminding us that even a faith as small as a mustard seed can achieve great things when it is rooted in God’s power.
Faith is not measured by extraordinary deeds, but by trustful surrender and perseverance in daily life. Jesus also reminds us that discipleship is about humble service—doing our duty with love without seeking recognition. The Lord values not so much what we accomplish, but the spirit of trust and fidelity with which we live.
We are challenged to move from fear and doubt to confidence in God’s promises, to recognize that faith grows when it is practiced, and to understand that humility is the true strength of a disciple. As we gather around the Eucharist, may we ask the Lord to strengthen our faith, deepen our trust, and help us to serve with joy and humility in the ordinary moments of our lives.
