“Living faith is the firm conviction that God exists, the acceptance – as truth – of all that has been revealed by God, and a loving readiness to be led by the divine will.”                                 

                                St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)

For Reflection: 

Mary and Joseph had “living faith” according to this definition –    even being led to Egypt at the direction of an angel in a dream. On a scale of 1 to 10, one being “no faith at all” and 10 being “living faith” per the above quote, where are you? Where do you want to be? What can you do today to move yourself one step forward?
