“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.” (Mathew 13, 44)
A Christian should get up every morning saying to himself: “What good luck I have!” And not because things are going well economically, or because his health is always excellent, or because there are no difficulties in his family. Luck comes from having faith; from knowing that God exists and that this God not only is the Creator and the Lord but also the Father full of love who loves us as we are.
You can think that faith doesn’t save you from difficulties. It isn’t true, since whatever situation no matter how bad can be worse and, probably, if you didn’t have faith your situation would be worse. Faith serves at least so you don’t loose all hope, to fight, to not give up. And this is the only path to victory. If you didn’t have faith, you would have not only the same problems or larger, but also, very probably, you wouldn’t have the strength which comes from God to face them.
Because of this we must consider that faith is good luck. And we must take care of this, so that it doesn’t extinguish nor become lukewarm. Anything to not loose it. For this, there is nothing better than prayer, since praying is to be in contact with God, the origin and end of our faith. If you have doubts of faith don’t empty your head looking for arguments, pray more, go to communion more, and get closer to the Lord.
Intention: Be conscious of the luck you have having faith and take care of this don; avoid putting yourself in situations that jeopardize it. Pray more and ask the Lord to augment your faith.
