True faith


Luke 4:14-22
 
As Christmas is ending, make no mistake about it.  Christmas is just beginning because it is just planted in our hearts.  We need to nourish the seed of faith planted in our hearts, not abort it.
 
John's letter reflects the real effect of Christmas - in ourselves as we love one another.  It is a direct mirror of God's love for us - our love for one another.  He further states that we have already triumphed over the world - through our faith.
 
Our faith, what is in our mind and heart, what mold our wills, brings life into the world.  It man's access to God.  Thus, communion is possible because of faith.

Through faith, we can see everything - God's glory and man's holiness.  We can see the story of humankind's existence in God.  Thus, in the gospel, we can see the Good News brought to the poor, liberty to captives, sight to the blind, freedom to the downtrodden, and the Year of the Lord in us and around us.  May we always see these realities and see God in return.
