Only by
faith can my soul adhere to You, as You really are – infinite, omnipotent, and
merciful, unity in Trinity: thus faith
presents You to my soul. Faith
comprehends You as You are, in Your divinity; Your mysteries, and Your works –
all of which it proposes to my belief, so that in faith I find You completely,
and in the act of faith, even thou I do not see You, I possess You truly. If faith holds You hidden and veiled, if it
permits me to see You “only through a glass in a dark manner”, I am certain,
however, that it does not deceive me; it proposes You to me as You have
revealed Yourself. How shall I not
believe, Lord, in Your word, since You have spoken to us not only by the mouths
of the prophets, but by the mouth of Jesus, Your Incarnate Word? What mystery is greater than that of Your
infinite charity which has loved me from all eternity, created me by an act of
love, redeemed me by the Blood of Your Son, and made my poor soul the temple of
the Most Holy Trinity? I believe everything the Son of God has said; there is
nothing more true than the Word of Truth.

Do I teach others to listen for God’s word rather than get
caught up in that of the world?
