Faith does not spring from the miracle but the miracle from faith: Advent Reflection for Monday, December 5, 2022

from The Friar Podcasts - preaching prayer and spiritual reflections · host The Friar

The gospel doesn’t say why the paralyzed man was so insistent on seeing Jesus. This squares with my own observations; people can tell you a lot about what they believe, but not as much about why. In The Brothers Karamazov, Ivan, an intellectual, can explain his reasons for his atheism far better than Alyosha, the young, saintly protagonist, can explain his reasons for believing.
