Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him; and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, and says, &#8216;I repent,&#8217; you must forgive him.&#8221; The apostles said to the Lord, &#8220;Increase our faith!&#8221; And the Lord said, &#8220;If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, &#8216;Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,&#8217; and it would obey you. &#8220;Will any one of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, say to him when he has come in from the field, &#8216;Come at once and sit down at table&#8217;? Will he not rather say to him, &#8216;Prepare supper for me, and gird yourself and serve me, till I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink&#8217;? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, &#8216;We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Luke 17:1-10<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today is the Feast of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Visitation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Visitation<\/a> of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
