Personal faith in our Lord and intercessory prayers on behalf of others, are two virtues that every believer should embrace. We see where the personal faith of the bleeding woman and the pleading of Jairus for his sick daughter led to their healing (Mk. 5:21-43). Is our faith truly strong? Do we genuinely pray for others each day of our lives?
Lord Jesus, strengthen the gift of faith that You give us, so that we may believe. Hear and answer the prayers we offer for our loved ones, those in our circle of life, and for ourselves. May we glorify Your name for the wonders You perform as a sign of Your love. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
