When besieged by problems to the left and to the right; when demands made upon us seem impossible to meet, and our world seems to be falling apart, we can hearken back to this morning's Gospel when the apostles themselves seemed overwhelmed, even with Jesus right there with them, and join them in their prayer-request, "Increase our faith." (Lk 17:5). Even if it were faith the size of a mustard seed, it would suffice to straighten out our lives, take away our anxieties, calm our fears and give us the confidence we need in the loving care of the Father. We just can't take this faith for granted; we need to ask for it repeatedly. The God who created us, knows and gives strength for every step of our day will not let us down...Dear God, increase our faith.
