Faith, pop culture, and headline reflections from Fr. Mike Schmitz.
Fr. Mike Schmitz delves deeply into the profound significance of the leper's words to Jesus:
'If you will it, you can make me clean.'
This verse from Matthew's Gospel embodies the very essence of faith. Fr. Mike explains how this statement captures the heart of faith in two ways: the trust inherent in believing that Christ can purify us and the trust involved in believing in him even if he chooses not to. Fr. Mike says this is the faith you are made for. It is the kind of faith that can change the world.
