Upholding an Unwavering Faith
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.
1 Corinthians 1:10

2 - Reflect
I think I am like most believers: I know I could give more than I do. Like every human being, we are not perfect - let's leave that to God - and while I try to glorify God in each of my actions, my human nature surfaces from time to time.
That is why I always include in my prayers, requests for guidance to the Blessed Sacrament; the Holy intercession by which my Faith will grow strong as I need it and other requests.
Of course, I also make time to be grateful for all that I have been blessed with thanks to the eternal benevolence of God the Father, but it seems important to me to share this thought today: God will always answer our prayers - at His time and in His way - and that should not worry us, but instead of constantly asking, let us open our hearts and ask Him to be instruments of a complete transformation, one that does not require constant requests to amend this or that aspect.
I personally believe that only in this way will we experience the peace of mind that is absolutely necessary to entrust ourselves to the tasks that God has entrusted to us.
A transformation is, at the same time, a serious matter that requires a true surrender to Christ of the control of our lives, a lifelong commitment based on faith and love, on trust and mercy.
