Saturday of week 6 in Ordinary Time
Saturday memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary
First reading – Hebrews 11:1-7
“Now it is impossible to please God without faith”. The reading shows how faith relates everything to God. Creation, human history, and human vocation. Faith finds answers for our questions regarding the world around us. Faith gives the reason for the righteous action of Abel and even after his death his faith speaks. Faith transcends everything. It helps to relate with God, motives our actions and it gives permanence to those actions. An action with faith in God is a very special action because of its relation to God. Faith gives that action a very special essence which can never be taken away because it is related to God who is eternal. Faith is so dynamic that when you have it, it takes control of you and your actions. It’s not just a conviction. It is handing over ourselves to the One in whom we have faith. And the entire world around us becomes related to this faith. Let’s reflect: How much my world is dependent on my faith in God?
