"How can I have faith?" This was the question asked in our weekly Alpha course this week.  Our faith is reliable, sustainable and easily proved.  We show it by the written evidence, sacred scripture; the event, the Crucifixion; and the experience, knowing Jesus.  Fr. Steve uses this background and a recent experience at the hospital to show how we are starving for faith!  We all fit, or can fit, into three areas of our faith: 1) lost faith; 2) hungering faith, and 3) lived faith.  Those who have lost their faith, must open the door for Jesus, as He says, "I stand at the door and knock."  Those who are hungering must beg for more faith, just as the Apostles did, "Lord increase our faith," and those who are living their faith must keep doing what they are doing by practicing their faith!
