**What Having Faith Entails**

        In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 8, a centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant who was lying at his home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully. As Jesus was getting ready to go and cure him, the centurion said to him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed." Because of his faith, Jesus healed the servant unseen. In Mark 11:24, Jesus said to his disciples, "All that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours." So, after we ask for what we want from the Lord, we must not let it bother us anymore; he desires that we trust in him and remain in peace.
