The Effects Of Faith

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

Volume 4, March 2, 1902

This morning I felt all concerned, as if the Lord wanted to deprive me again of His presence, and therefore take sufferings away from me; and I also felt a little bit of discouragement. Then, after much waiting, He came for just a little and told me: “My daughter, one who nourishes himself with faith acquires divine life, and by acquiring divine life he destroys the human – that is, he destroys within himself the germs which original sin produced, reacquiring the perfect nature, as it came out of my hands, similar to Me. And by this, he comes to surpass in nobility the very angelic nature.” Having said this, He disappeared.

Prayer Meditation- Faith, it is a gift given to us by Baptism, the assurance of things hoped for and unseen! Lord may we nourish ourselves with faith in You as You transform us from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18)
