St. Paul focuses this Tuesday on the righteousness that derives from faith. Quoting the Prophet Habakkuk (2:4), he built his theology of faith, saying, “The one who is righteous by faith will live.” As one among the chain of theological virtues, faith remains central in our lives and pushes for the accomplishment of charity and hope. Faith is God’s gift, and it helps us transcend where our senses might encounter hindrances. As we celebrate this Holy Eucharist, we ask God to increase our faith and grant us grace to show our faith through all good works. Amen!
