Living out faith requires persistence. At Mass at the Holy Fire Gathering for 6th-9th graders on Saturday, Father Ron Hicks, Vicar General for the Archdiocese of Chicago, urged the young people to be steadfast in prayer, because that is part of growing in a relationship with God, by constantly putting ourselves in His presence, which we were able to do so marvelously before Mass in a time of Eucharistic adoration.
We must persist in seeking after God, Who will make all things right, demonstrating faith so that we are ready when He comes. God will deliver, and we are called to believe, which necessarily involves persistence in adhering to the truths of God's Word, which provide a strong foundation living out faith.
In such grounding, we go forth to do amazing things, which I recognize in my own life as I celebrated the 11-year anniversary of my Confirmation on Saturday of this past weekend, and thought back upon all the amazing things that have happened in my life, by faith, in those years.
