The simple request of the apostles, "Increase our faith," (Lk 17:5) must be our prayer too. If they, who were with him daily, heard his word and saw his actions, needed more faith, how much more we! Digressions make their way into our faith-lives; distractions, busyness, doubts, depressions and discouragements attack us daily. We need Jesus to keep our faith firm, to help us embrace the cross, to help us embrace the mission to a world that needs faith as much as it did in his time. Let us repeat this prayer often; let it come from the heart; let it lead us to a deeper relationship with Jesus and a firmer commitment to the baptism which made us children of God and sharers in the mission of Jesus. Lord, increase MY faith!
