In today's Gospel we hear Jesus teach about faith and service to God.  The disciples of Jesus are to understand themselves as servants to God and his plans. Even when God works wonders through us, with our mustard seed-sized faith, we must not seek praise. Our participation in God's plans is God's grace to us, nothing more, nothing less. When we are graced enough to cooperate with God, the work we do is nothing more than our obligation to God as faithful stewards. May our faith enable us to believe that what we have offered in service to God, as his servants, will bear fruits.  Lord increase our faith and devotion to you.
