St Thomas Aquinas

2 Samuel 12:1-7, 10-17; Ps 51, Mark 4:26-34

Our head must heed the voice of our soul

The gift of faith given to us by our Father in Heaven is enlivened by the loving grace of the Holy Spirit so we can allow ourselves to freely and wholeheartedly believe in God. This means we can communicate directly with Him, feel joy in the certainty of His active presence in our lives and place our trust in Him to do what is best for us. Faith in God implants a need in us to do His will “as it is in Heaven”: even when our heads won’t listen, our souls know that doing His will leads us directly to Him.
