"Lord, increase our faith!" Many times this is an appropriate prayer, for we have failed in practicing the faith. But we might also be tempted to pray for spiritual gifts so we can brag. If this is the case, faith sharing stops being a witness and starts being self-glorification. And that is not what Jesus wants for us.
Pray for faith, but, more importantly, pray for the opportunities to use faith; for the good of others and the glory of God. After all, faith is the divine gift of God's relationship with us not a stick to measure that relationship.
Reflect on how you exercised your faith this week. Plan one way to grow in faith next week (reading Scripture, praying, helping others, being involved in the Church). ... See MoreSee Less

Saturday Silly
There was a barber who paid close attention at his parish whenever the topic of evangelization was discussed. He thought he should be doing more to share his faith with his customers.
The next morning the barber told the Lord in prayer, “Today I’m going to witness to the first customer who walks through my door.”
A man came in as he opened his shop and said, “I need a shave.”
The barber said, “Yes sir! Just have a seat and I’ll be right with you.”
The barber went in the back and prayed a quick prayer saying, “Lord, the first customer just came in and I’m going to witness to him. Give me the wisdom to know just the right thing to say. Amen.”
Then the barber came out with his straight razor in one hand and a Bible in the other and told his customer, “I have a question for you: Are you ready to meet your Maker?” ... See MoreSee Less

The Catholic Church designates October as the Month of the Holy Rosary. During this month the faithful venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary especially under her title of Our Lady of the Rosary, and make special effort to honor the Holy Rosary with group recitations and rosary processions. St. Dominic de Guzman, the founder of the Order of Preachers, is the saint to whom Our Lady famously appeared and gave the prayers of the Holy Rosary to assist him as a spiritual weapon in combating heresy and leading souls back to the one, true Catholic faith. ...

If there are 168 hours in a week, do we offer 16.8 (10%) of them back to God? How about 1.68 (1%)? Check your phone screen time. Do you spend a similar amount of time in prayer, reading the Bible, or volunteering during the week?
Prayer the foundation of stewardship. If we aren't spending time with the Lord in prayer, where are we spending our time? ... See MoreSee Less

To act as if the poor do not exist - like the rich man in today's Gospel - is a serious matter. We must remember that the poor of the world are blessed by God, as we all are.
Who are the poor? Most of the time we think of the poor as being those who lack material goods, but look again at Jesus' parable. The poor are the disdained, the hated, those kept at arms length. They might even be our enemies.
At what point do we show the poor compassion? In tragic times when we are tempted to cry out for vengeance, let us remember we are to seek justice. For justice allows room for compassion. ... See MoreSee Less

At a church meeting, a very wealthy man rose to tell the rest of those present about his Christian faith. "I'm a millionaire," he said, "and I attribute it all to the rich blessings of God in my life. I remember that turning point in my faith. I had just earned my first dollar and I went to a church meeting that night. The speaker was a missionary who told about his work. I knew that I only had a dollar bill and I had to either give it all to God's work or give nothing at all. So at that moment, I decided to give my whole dollar to God. I believe that God blessed that decision, and that is why I am a rich man today."
When he finished and moved toward his seat, there was an awed silence. As he sat down, a little old lady sitting in the same pew leaned over and said to him, "I dare you to do it again." ... See MoreSee Less
