This is not a question to take lightly. This is not an easy question to answer. Take some time today to think about what you believe. Write me @ Let It All Start Here with your answer. I want to know. And if you struggle to answer the question, perhaps your silence speaks volumes as well.
In The Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis writes: The believer is essentially "one who remembers." I love the sentiment contained in these words. I love these words! So often I am gently nudged by Jesus who is saying: Rememer me. He, because I believe, helps my unbelief. Mark 9:24 On this 1st Sunday of Advent I can't help but remember Christmas past where being in church, being involved in the Mass and coming to the Eucharist has helped me realize what I believe.

Last month at a restaurant in Ulster County where I waittress
I said to the Chef: Congradulations...we had a great night! He said: Don't jinx me. I said: I'm Catholic...I don't believe in that sort of thing. He said nothing. I said: I know you're wife is Catholic...what are you? He said nothing. I offered: Stick with me for a bit...I'll help you figure it out. He said: I don't know what I believe. I said nothing. (I don't work there anymore.) I am the silent brush of an owl’s wing...
I am the peculiar reassurance found in the mew of a watchful night bird… I am the lemon light in a baby’s laughter, the same beacon caught inside a tear of sea glass... I am the slender thread that lassoes two hearts that love… When a young boy grieves-- it is my hand that returns the lost toy… I am the why and how in a very, very old man’s reverie… I am the flint that strikes against the edge of a star and the imagination. I am the one who knew you long before you ever called out my name. |
