Have we ever asked Jesus to increase our faith?

What this episode covers

‘Lord increase our faith’ - this was the disciples’ request to Jesus, despite living with him and witnessing all the miracles.Have you asked Jesus to increase your faith?We may pray intensely, do novena devotion, come to church, attend mass regularly and be involved in ministries but none of these guarantees genuine faith. This is because the way we live our lives is opposite to practice of our faith.Pope John Paul II outlines 4 important aspects of faith:1. Seeking- faith is a gift from God but we need to seek and let it grow and increase our understanding. We can do that by reading the bible, religious books and listening to homilies2. Accepting the truth of the teaching- even if it is difficult3. Consistency-how do we put into practice? We show our faith throughout daily interactions4. Constancy-we live our faith for eternity, like Mother Mary, always saying yes to GodLet us learn from Mother Mary to stand strong in our faith in Jesus no matter how bad things are. If we put all things in God’s hands, we will see God’s hands in everything.- Novena Devotion by Fr. Sikstus Bapa Atawolo, C.Ss.R. (8 November 2025)
