»Be careful. If your brother offends you, rebuke him and if he is sorry, forgive him. And if he offends you seven times in a day but says to you seven times: ‘I'm sorry’, forgive him».
The apostles said to the Lord, «Increase our faith». And the Lord said, «If you have faith even the size of a mustard seed, you may say to this tree: ‘Be uprooted and plant yourself in the sea’, and it will obey you».

Today the apostles ask for the best that God can be asked for: - Increase our trust in You. The history of Christianity shows that Jesus' response was not exaggerated: the faith of Christians has stirred empires and raised cathedrals. The attitude of faith - that is, of trust - is very human. Otherwise, based on what are friendships forged, marriages celebrated, companies created...? Nothing works without confidence.
- Why is so strange trusting in God? It is true we don’t see him: another reason to live on faith. God is God, he is not a soccer referee!
