DAILY HOMILIES #servants

One of the unique characteristics of the sycamore tree is its enormous roots, which can extend as far as sixty feet around the tree, making it an almost impossible task to uproot. Moreover, Jesus added that you could ask this tree to be planted in the sea, and it would obey you, which is another impossibility, given that a tree of that nature does not grow in the sea. In other words, Jesus is saying that with faith as little as a mustard seed, we can do the impossible.

Faith is not for the good times only. Faith is that which sustains us in bad times. According to St. Augustine: “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” It is not easy to live a righteous life when things are not going smoothly in your life but do not forget that faith is patience. Trust that God will never leave you forsaken. Never give up on God.
