The Leader and Perfecter of faith

“Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.” (HBR 12: 1-2)

When we “keep our eyes fixed on Jesus,” we can learn from Him how to love more and better because He is our “Leader and Perfecter of faith.” He leads us to be more gentle, more respectful, more givers than demanders , etc. Our Lord, “the perfecter of faith,” helps us to grow in our relationship with God and in our relationships with our spouses and relatives.

“Christ took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.” (Gospel Acclamation)
