Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

(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.

By mediating on the mysteries of the Rosary, Mary brings that event to us, so we can experience its power and grace.   Mary draws us to her Son.   Use your imagination. Meditate on the mysteries.   It will help you grow in your relationship with Jesus.   We are with Him and with Mary in these events. Father George P. Schommer, O.P.

(Father George P. Schommer, O.P.)
