Faith... Kind of a hard subject to grasp huh... Makes you really start to think about how you can trust in something you can't see. Why would people be willing to give up their lives for something that might possibly have just been in their head?I often find myself pondering this very question. Why do I trust, with all of my heart, in a God that I cannot see? I think that this is a question that won't be answered until the day that I die.
I just find it hard to even think that someone could make all of this up. Or that the Catholic Church, the bible, Jesus Chirst, were all just part of a sick joke that someone was trying to see how many people they could get to believe.
I guess that is the whole objective of faith, that you believe something no matter what. What we have faith in defines who we are as a person. Without faith in something, our lives would have no meaning, no purpose. Having faith in something gives us something to strive to find out more about, something that can always keep us wondering.
Whether that item you have faith in is big or small, just having something that can keep you wondering is all you need. It helps you to grow as a person and better understand yourself.
I am glad that I have faith in Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church because it has helped to make me into the person that I am. It has helped me to find myself and see the good in others. I have something that I can always turn to in the good times and the bad, and I know that it will never abandon me.
Faith is my absolute favorite word. It explains what motivates me to become a better person, and to love the people I come in contact with. I know that with the faith that I have, I can move mountains, I can be the person that I want to become and no living person can change that!
GOT FAITH? I DO!
Randall! If you do not become a priest I will be upset. I say all this in a good way! Going to church with you I can see how much you love the church and how devoted you are. You are willing to do anything asked of you and we all know that we can count on you. You also are devoted to not only to learning more about the church but also with teaching others. You are a book of knowledge, if anyone had a question about the Catholic faith, you would know the answer. Also, anyone can talk to you about it or their problems because we have trust in. We all know that you are not the type of person to judge or go blabber about the people who confide in you! It’s an amazing trait to have! That is why I want to see you become a priest. But if you don’t that is okay! You could become a leader that Matt and Angie! I know you will go far in the Catholic faith and it teachings. Just don’t ever give up on your faith when it throws struggles in your way!
