Ss Cosmas and Damian
Haggai 1:15 – 2:9. Hope in God, I will praise him, my saviour and my God – Ps 42(43):1-4. Luke 9:18-22.
Do we truly believe?
When we are reading the Gospel, it is easy for us to assume that we would act the same as Peter and recognise Jesus as the Messiah and Son of the living God. Unlike the disciples, we have been told who Jesus is for thousands of years. Yet how confident are we in recognising Jesus in modern society today? Is he a kind prophet? A benevolent hero from a long-ago fairytale?
Do we truly believe that we will see Jesus when we die? If we truly knew this, our whole lives would change. We would go about our day with joy, accepting suffering with a smile, and never fearing death. Let us pray to Jesus, asking him to strengthen our faith so that we can believe, even if we can’t see. He can only heal us if we believe that he can.
