In the supernatural life, faith in Jesus is a power so much the more active as it is the more deeply anchored in the soul. It first embraces with fervour all the fulness of its object; and as faith refers all to Christ, it regards all things in the divine light of Christ.
Moreover, the intimate and profound conviction we have of the Divinity of Jesus is the spring of all our activity so that we may generously fulfil all His commands and be rendered unshaken in temptation - fortes in fide - and that our hope and love may be sustained in every trial.
What an intensity of supernatural life there is in a soul intimately convinced that Jesus is God! What an abundant source of inner life and of indefatigable apostolate there is in this certainty, becoming stronger every day, that Christ is all Holiness, all Wisdom, all Power and all Goodness!
I believe, Lord Jesus, that Thou art the Son of the Living God: I believe it, but increase my faith!
Adapted from Christ the Life of the Soul, p. 145
