FAITH

By Irene
1
Now faith is being sure of what we
hope for and certain of what we do
not see (Hebrews 11 : 1)
Jesus Walks on the Water
(Matthew 14)
 25During the fourth watch of the
night Jesus went out to them, walking
on the lake. 
26
When the disciples saw him
walking on the lake, they were
terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and
cried out in fear.
27
But Jesus immediately said to
them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be
afraid."
28
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied,
"tell me to come to you on the
water.“ 29"Come," he said.
 Then Peter got down out of the boat,
walked on the water and came
toward Jesus. 
What is faith?
• Faith is an entirely free gift that God
makes to man… (CCC 162) 
• Faith is a personal act - the free
response of the human person to the
initiative of God who reveals
himself… (CCC 166) 
 30But when he saw the wind, he was
afraid and, beginning to sink, cried
out, "Lord, save me!" 31Immediately
Jesus reached out his hand and
caught him. 
Jesus’ help in our daily life :
Conclusion
• Faith is a free response to God’s
revelation.
• Taking the 1st step to follow Jesus.
• Have faith that He will save us.
• Keep fire in our faith!!
