The gift of faith

 

We tend to take our faith in God for granted when we find it easy to believe in God, but we should not forget that faith is a great gift that can be lost. In this meditation we use texts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and of Scripture to consider how:

  • We should accept all the truths revealed by God and taught by the Church, especially those we find difficult to believe or to practise, because God is truth himself
  • Faith is a gift that God can suddenly give someone, and that can be lost if it is not nourished and protected
  • Faith is the foundation of our whole spiritual life
  • We should ask God for the faith to “move mountains”
