Trust that faith is right relationship

The Roman Catholic Lectionary today presents some examples of the experience of fathers of the faith in the area of being in right relationship or righteous before God. In the letter to the Romans, Paul argues that Father Abraham is in relationship with God because of his faith which was manifest in the trust that he placed in God which was beyond that which human or conventual wisdom advises. Paul proclaims that David understood that God forgives transgression and enters into intimate relationship with the believer without regard to the "good works" or lack there of. The Gospel of Luke is an exhortation by Jesus for us to move fearlessly to deeper truth and awareness of the hypocrisy which distracts our focus and the pervasive suggestions that we only need be semi conscious believers. Our security is in faith. Our evidence of the constant Presence is in the Creation around us and the events of our lives which are consequences of a faith and a greater universe than we can fully comprehend.
