The comic section of the Sunday newspaper often contains great wisdom. That's why it's called the present. Faith is a present because it is a presence. Although we often see spectacular happenings on TV, our own lives seem mostly hum-drum. Living in faith gifts us with the vision to see that the divine is present in the human.
Faith sees something hopeful happening in our daily encounters.
Faith opens up aspects of love shining through our hidden behavior. God Is with Us remains the heart of faith. God loves and liberates us now, just as He did at the Exodus and throughout the history of the Chosen People. All God did then, He is willing to do now for all of us who, like Moses, are walking the journey of faith. You worked mighty signs through Your saints who were pleasing to You in every age.
