(Rom. 6, 18–23; Matt. 8, 5–13)
What is the faith of the centurion! I surprised the Lord Himself. Its essence is that he confessed the Lord as the God of all, the omnipotent ruler and ruler of all things; That’s why I asked: just say the word, and my boy will be healed. I believe that everything is subject to You and everything obeys Your command. The Lord demanded the same faith from everyone; the same is required of us. Whoever has such faith lacks nothing and whatever he asks for, he receives everything. This is what the Lord Himself promised. Oh, when would we even get on the trail of such faith! But she is also a gift, and this gift must also be asked for and asked with faith. Let us ask for it, at least with a feeling of need for it, ask constantly, with difficulty, at the same time helping to reveal it in us with appropriate reflections, and most of all, with obedience to the commandments of God.
