11th Sunday after Pentecost 2015
The body of doctrines that all Catholics must believe is called Objective Faith, which is distinct from the virtue of faith. This virtue gives us the ability to ascent with the mind and adhere with the will to all the truths revealed by our Divine Savior. We do not appreciate the great privilege we have been given through faith. It is an act of the greatest love of God for Him to share the mysteries of His life so that we might believe in them. The gift of faith is offered to even the worst among us. The Gospel today displays the great power of intercession, because it was due to the friends of the deaf and dumb man that he obtained his cure. This teaches us to pray perseveringly for the conversion of our neighbor.
