Oct 10 – Homily – Fr Matthias: May We Not Waver

Homily #141010n ( 05min) Play - Father Matthias comments on the collect for today and on the first reading. He observes that faith has a life, and this life is charity, and good works must flow from this living, loving faith, or they are useless. He offers a further observation about the distinction between "tradition" and "traditionalism." One is the "living faith of those who are dead" and the other, defined as a zeal for the faith and its traditional expression but without charity or zeal for personal spiritual progress, is the "dead faith of those who are alive." May we always have this living faith, asking God for support that our faith may not waver through a lack of charity.
