Now I am going to tell you a story about a boy who was very ordinary and simple but He was holding on to something very important. Because of the very thing, He attracted so many people. Even masters and leaders came to listen to him. When they asked for what he was holding on to, he gave them all freely. some of them could touch it and others could only smell it and some others could only feel it and every one according to his or her way of approach. But they all experienced it.
The boy name is Jesus. At the age of twelve, when He was found in the temple of Jerusalem sitting among all the wise and smart people and all those rich and spirit filled people, He gave them all more than a thing called "Faith". Yes, He gave them all faith.
you were all given through the sacrament of baptism. people who are committed to the love of God can taste it, experience it and even see it. During these eight years at St. Paul's school, you have been given faith again and again in many ways. every time you went to school, every time you spent time with your friends and every time you came to church to celebrate Christ, you received faith and now you are going away from the school not leaving your faith behind but taking your faith with you.
when you keep your faith alive, you will grow and multiply as thirty, sixty and hundredfold. keep your faith alive and you will be stronger in everything and today's gospel invites you to deepen your faith in Christ our Lord. So let us keep your faith and multiply. Amen.
