Luke 17:5
Douay-Rheims
And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
John Chrysostom
The mulberry may be also compared to the devil, for as by the leaves of the mulberry tree certain worms are fed, so the devil, by the imaginations which proceed from him, is feeding for us a never dying worm; but this mulberry tree faith is able to pluck out of our souls, and plunge it into the deep.
