Today’s Gospel

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” And the Lord said, “If you have faith, even the size of a mustard seed, you may say to this tree, ‘Be uprooted, and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it will obey you. Who among you would say to your servant, coming in from the fields after plowing or tending sheep, ‘Go ahead and have your dinner’? No, you tell him, ‘Prepare my dinner. Put on your apron, and wait on me while I eat and drink. You can eat and drink afterward.’ Do you thank this servant for doing what you told him to do? I don’t think so. And therefore, when you have done all that you have been told to do, you should say, ‘We are no more than servants; we have only done our duty.’”

Today’s Reflection

On the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus illustrates the power of faith in our lives. It does not speak how small or great our faith we may possess. But faith should be genuine and complete trust in God that can make the impossible possible. This faith is described further as the dutiful servant who does not want any recognition or praise from his master. It indicates that genuine faith in our humble hearts and willingness to serve God faithfully and wholeheartedly makes everything possible.
