In our Gospel this week Jesus has a curious response to the apostles who ask to have their faith increased. He seems to say that even if you have the smallest amount of faith, you should be able to move mountains. In other words, if you have faith, live it; that’s how it will increase.

I’m always looking for an illustration to help us visualize the gospel message for the week. Believe it or not, the image that comes to me this week comes from the Grinch That Stole Christmas. Most of you have seen that show, right? At the end of the story, after steeling all of the Christmas presents and food for the Whoville Christmas celebration and realizing that nothing he did stopped the Whos’ hope and ability to celebrate the joy of Christmas, the Grinch experiences a change, and we see the image of his heart growing three times its size. Love is what helps us to grow. Love is what increases our faith. And like the Grinch who is able to save the sleigh full of toys from falling off the cliff after that change, so too do we experience an increase in faith when we love God and our neighbor to the best of our ability. As love grows, so does our faith, and as our faith is increases, so does our love. It’s a win-win.
~ Fr. Bob
