Gospel
Matthew 17:14-20
A man came up to Jesus and went down on his knees before him. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘take pity on my son: he is a lunatic and in a wretched state; he is always falling into the fire or into the water. I took him to your disciples and they were unable to cure him.’ ‘Faithless and perverse generation!’ Jesus said in reply ‘How much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.’ And when Jesus rebuked it the devil came out of the boy who was cured from that moment.
Then the disciples came privately to Jesus. ‘Why were we unable to cast it out?’ they asked. He answered, ‘Because you have little faith. I tell you solemnly, if your faith were the size of a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it would move; nothing would be impossible for you.’
My reflection
1. Life is filled with challenges and difficulties.
2. Jesus has entrusted us his people to support each other by praying and encouraging one another but many of us fail.
3. The failure has got to do with the lack of faith ?
How strong is your faith brothers and sisters in Christ?
Prayer
Lord Jesus everyday we are faced with trials and tribulation. We pray for your presence to give us strength to put our complete faith in you.
We make this prayer in Christ our lord.
Amen.
