Friday of Week 28 in Ordinary Time

When a man has nothing to show except faith in the one who justifies sinners.
Then his faith is considered as justifying him.
How then do we all become winners.
Is all our future based on fates’ whim.

We can by our own efforts do better.
But can we have faith just by trying.
Do we have to be part of the select fitter.
Or can we obtain redemption by doing.

St Teresa had faith in spades.
But that was not enough.
Her whole life a struggle , braving spiritual cascades.
Often travelling far and rough.

So I think we have to do both.
Have faith and not too much sloth.

…….

For redemption
Is it just faith or good works
I suspect it’s both
