INCREASE OUR FAITH, O LORD!

Lectionary text: Luke 17:5 (NRSV) - The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

                                                Because of Luke’s expression
that “the apostles said,”
                                                this text was written after
Christ was raised from the dead.

                                                But still its truth is sharper
than any two-edged sword,
                                                and still our constant prayer is,
“Increase our faith, O Lord!”
