Exercise Your Faith

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons)
An increase in Faith comes from the exercise of the Faith we have already received.  It is like the development of a muscle.  It requires us to increase our dedication to the Word of God; our perseverance in prayer and meditation; and the exercise of our faith to penetrate the mysteries before us…Faith takes risks – it recognizes that with God all things are possible…Faith grows as we find ourselves more deeply united with the Lord and wanting to imitate His words and actions. 

Father George P. Schommer, O.P.
