Increasing Our 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.
