The goal of faith

“Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet you believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of faith, the salvation of your souls.” (1 PT 1: 8-9)

We can’t see Our Lord, but we can love Him. Loving Him is more important than seeing Him. With love it is easier to believe in Him. When love and belief is present, we can “attain the goal of faith—the salvation of our souls.”

“Jesus Christ became poor although he was rich, so that by his poverty you might become rich.” (Gospel Acclamation)
