Faith (in Christ in the Holy Eucharist) is the very essence
of our life and it is the divine economy to be utilised amongst the faithful
towards life within this realm of existence.
Faith, is not just about belief, it is about education and is
to be broadened into awareness and the source of creativity.
‘Faith’ in the Real Bread is the real daily bread, which is
the real source of our derivation of an awareness and knowledge about the ‘how’
and ‘why’ of earning our daily bread. That is why Christ counselled that we
labour for the meat which endures towards eternal life, which is the Holy
Eucharist.
Faith in Christ comes first, not secular knowledge. The
former when properly applied should constitute a proper and lasting source for
the latter.
Faith is the real work which is an awareness in the Church
built on the Rock, Petrus from which comes forth the water of life: The Holy
Spirit towards creativity.
Faith in Christ is the money of the Church. This is what He
needs from us in order to act in the world, and if we are in the Church, the
individual faith assists the communal faith, such that the more we have it the
more we are aware that its utilisation cannot be hoarded but is more profitable
if it is used for the entire community, such that whoever has more is given
even more. The more you give, the more you acquire!
Christ does not ration the Spirit. He lavishes it to the good
and the bad alike, and we gain its real benefit and utilisation by an awareness
(faith) of this non-hoarding nature of Christ and the egalitarian constituent
of His Church which is His Body.
Our physical nature of the Church as a constituent must tap
into this spiritual reality of the utility of faith.
The Spiritual Church is reformed Communism by nature.
Everything is held in common. But it is
an unforced Communism. The Capitalist arm of the Church is one who is still
unenlightened and is still a baby in the faith.
The more of faith you let go, the more of it you have, and
faith in Christ, being the primal source of real civilisation is the real and
divine economy, and its ‘gold standard’ is rooted in the confession of Peter.
This taps back into Baptism in the Church and what ought to
be our primal task: making efforts to get people baptised into Christ through the
Church in order for them to gain from such an immense benefit.
It’s like ‘benefits system’. Once you are a Citizen and have ‘recourse
to public fund’, you are essentially covered.
Baptism in the Church confers that citizenship to the gold
standard of faith in Christ where we can be assured of safety without a forced –
but non-presumptive- benefits of the divine economy of faith in Christ. A faith
which is also essentially the source of our perpetual world economy!
