FAITH
Faith is a gift of God to man and it is, at the same time, man's free and total entrusting of himself to God.
Faith is the docile listening to the Word of the Lord, that is the "lamp" for our steps and the "light" on our way.
If we open our hearts to Christ with confidence, if we let ourselves be conquered by him, we too can experience, together with the Curé d'Ars, "that our only happiness on this earth is to love God, and to know that He loves us."
Let us ask the Virgin Mary, always to keep alive in us this faith impregnated by love, which made her, the humble girl of Nazareth, Mother of God and model for all believers. ~ Pope Benedict XVI ~
