Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life. (1 John 2:24-25 NABRE)
We all face doubt along the way. Today's encouragement from Saint John should remind us of how to approach our doubt. When we are challenged in our belief, it is good to go back to basics, to read God's Word, and to remember that even when we don't feel God's presence He is still with us--as close as our next breath.
Today, I will keep in my heart what I "heard from the beginning" even when my faith is challenged.
Saint Basil the Great, bishop, Doctor of the Church, and patron of Russia, pray for us.
