Excerpt from Parochial Sermons, Vol. 2

"In Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, hut faith which worketh by love."

Faith is the foundation of the whole spiritual building, whereby we are built on Christ Jesus. It is the root of the whole spiritual life of grace, the ground whereon the soul rests securely, the beginning of our spiritual existence. Faith goes even before love, in thought, hut not in deed. It goes before love, in thought; for we love, because we believe, not believe, because we love. Faith gives us, in this our state, the knowledge of Him Whom we love. Faith is instead of eyes. By Faith we see Him Who to our eyes of sense is unseen. We behold both backwards and forwards, and round about us, and every way we behold the love of God.
