Habakkuk 2:1-4
I will stand at my guard post, and station myself upon the rampart, And keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what answer he will give to my complaint. Then the LORD answered me and said: Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets, so that one can read it readily. For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late. The rash man has no integrity; but the just man, because of his faith, shall live.
Today's reading from the prophet Habukkuk speaks of faith. His words remind us to watch, wait and persevere in prayer. In tomorrow's reading, Saint Paul reveals the meaning of faith. Brothers and sisters, Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 It was by faith that Mary became the Mother of God. Mary's faith was a living faith with the Holy Trinity. She is the handmaid of the Lord. Through the power of love and life in the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Son of God, was born. Mary had no knowledge of the mystery of what was unfolding in her life, she simply trusted in God through faith.
Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
John 15:15
