Faith is not a rock or even a precious gem that we hold onto. Faith is something alive and growing, that needs care and tending. We can never say “I’ve got it now.” The people of Ephesus has a partial understanding of the faith when St. Paul arrived. However, they told him, “We have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” Their faith needed to grow and develop. The disciples at the Last Supper told Jesus: “Now we realize that you know everything … Because of this we believe that you came from God.” Jesus chided them that there immature faith was not sufficient in the coming trials. They needed to grow in the faith, as do we all to prepare for our trials.
