The Feast of St Denis and St John Leonardi.

"Realize then that it is those who have faith who are children of Abraham." (Galatians 3: 7).

Friday 9th October 2020, 27th Week in Ordinary is the feast of St Denis, First Bishop of Paris, martyr and companions, martyr. (3rd century). We honor too St John Leonardi (1541 - 1609). Italian priest. John qualified first as a pharmacist before he decided to become a priest. He founded the Order of Clerics Regular to serve sick people and those in prison.

Yesterday, we saw through Galatians 3 that we received the Holy Spirit through faith and not through works. St Paul continues teaching us the beautiful subject of Faith today. We are children of Abraham because we share in that powerful faith that made Abraham great. "Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith." (Galatians 3: 9).

How does faith impact our life from day to day?

#1 Faith is belief that Jesus will keep His promises come what may.
# 2 Jesus says: Fear is useless. What you need is faith.
#3 Lack of faith robs us of God's wonderful plans for us.

You may be at the threshold of your Promised Land. You need faith to push through the door.
