The Christian virtue of faith has two main dimensions, namely, the objective and subjective dimensions. The objective aspect focuses on the doctrine of the Church as handed down to us through the ages from the time of the apostles. The focus of the subjective dimension dwells on the personal trust, confidence in God. 

The present book entitled, “Faith Little and Great in Matthew’s Gospel” focuses on eight experiences of faith as lived by various people in various situations. These bring out the dynamics of faith which can be little and great in the life of an individual Christian.  Faith, therefore, as a personal experience of trust in God is not a fixed constant. This being so, faith can grow but it can also diminish. Consequently, faith is a living reality that, like other living realities, needs care, nourishment. This nourishment is provided through the Word of God, the Sacraments, Prayer, Charitable deeds and Grace. May the lived experiences of faith in St Matthew’s Gospel help us to ever grow in our faith journey.
