Increase of faith---this was asked by the Apostles to the Lord. We too want to increase our faith but often for our own benefit. As faithful disciples, we should do what is right because it is so---and our faith calls us to serve. May we always have faith like Christ who was obedient even to death. Living the gospel each day will definitely increase our faith!!

This weekend we hear the gospel of the rich man and Lazarus. How often do we pass by and intentionally ignore those who are in need of material things but most especially a connection---to be included. This gospel is a stark reminder of our responsibility to serve, support and embrace those who are suffering. We are called to be Christ for one another.
