Young Norwegian immigrant Knute Rockne (Pat O'Brien) enrolls at Notre Dame University and becomes the first star of its hitherto undistinguished football team, inventing the forward pass among other innovations. Coaching the team after his playing days are through, Rockne turns the school into a football powerhouse thanks in part to freshman halfback George Gipp (Ronald Reagan), whose sudden illness provides the team with its motivation to fight against a bigger, stronger opponent.

“The just one, because of his faith, shall live,” says the prophet Habakkuk some six hundred years before Jesus’ birth. These words are taken up by St. Paul in his thesis, “In the gospel is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith, as it is written. “The one who is righteous by faith will live” (Romans 1:17). The prophet cried out to God to intervene to help his people in their desperation. His cry expresses his faith that God cares for his people and will respond. Today’s readings offer a deeper insight into the nature of Christian faith. In Paul’s Letter to Timothy, the Apostle encourages his disciple to “stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.” Timothy has been entrusted with protecting the faith of his community. Paul reminds him of the gift of the Spirit he received that brings with it a gift of boldness that provides strength to overcome obstacles. In the Gospel, when the Apostles tell the Lord, “increase our faith,” they are not asking for the content of their faith to be increased but for the quality of their faith to be enhanced. In other words, the faith they refer to is their relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus and the disciples are concerned with the depth of their faith relationship. It is not the quantity of faith that is significant but the quality of the relationship with Christ. After all, as Jesus said, faith the size of a mustard seed could move a tree. Genuine faith, the depth of our genuine relationship with Christ, enables us to perform the impossible. What does the word “faith” mean to you? Why is the quality of faith more important than the

quantity? How have you experienced the power of faith at

work in your life?
