Faith is a gift as well as a virtue. It’s a gift of God in that it’s a light infused by him into our souls. But it’s a virtue in that our soul must exercise itself to practice it.
For this reason, faith needs to rule our beliefs and also our actions. If we truly believe, we must put our beliefs into practice.
“You say, ‘I believe.’ Well, then, do what you say, and that is faith.” St. Augustine
Having a lively faith is when we live according to our belief. “Faith, apart from works, is dead” James 2:26
Let’s practice the virtue of faith today.
Mother Mary, pray for us to increase and enliven my faith! 🙏🏻

Please, you would better pray to the Only One True God, so that your prayers also may become true.

We glorify only God. However why not enlist the saints, including Mary, to help intercede for us and teach us to walk in holiness. We need all the help we can get.
