A lively faith is all we need

Saturday of week 3 in Ordinary Time

Mark 4:35-41

Jesus reprimanded the apostles for having a weak faith.  He nevertheless showed his power to contain the sea.

In the first reading, David realized the story of Nathan was about him.  He deserved just punishemnt.  On the other hand, God accepted his repentance and forgave him.

David is just like us, faltering in our faith. Let's explore the fruits of a weak and faltering faith.  

First, it's prone to sin.  

Second, it affects another, more so, the innocent.

Third, it blames others and not the self.

Let's be more concerned with pleasing the Lord with a livelier faith, a faith that takes responsibility for one's life and vocation, a faith that propagates grace, and a faith that invluences others for good.
