[37] For here the saying is verified that 'One sows and another reaps.' [38] I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the work, and you are sharing the fruits of their work."
(CCC 89) There is an organic connection between our spiritual life and the dogmas. Dogmas are lights along the path of faith; they illuminate it and make it secure. Conversely, if our life is upright, our intellect and heart will be open to welcome the light shed by the dogmas of faith (Cf. Jn 8:31-32). (CCC 88) The Church's Magisterium exercises the authority it holds from Christ to the fullest extent when it defines dogmas, that is, when it defines dogmas, that is, it proposes in a form obliging the Christian people to an irrevocable adherence of faith, truth contained in divine Revelation or also when it proposes, in a definitive way, truths having a necessary connection with these. (CCC 2611) The prayer of faith consists not only in saying "Lord, Lord," but in disposing the heart to do the will of the Father (Cf. Mt 7:21). Jesus calls his disciples to bring into their prayer this concern for cooperating with the divine plan (Cf. Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2; Jn 4:34).
