faith

 

 

 "Faith is the mother of tenderness, trust and joy.  It has only love and compassion for its enemies who benefit so greatly at its expense."  Jean-Pierre DeCaussade (The Sacrament of the Present Moment}

Faith has a way of seeing beyond that which is tangible.  Faith grapples to unearth the courage to gaze beyond this present moment into the countenance of a Holy God.  Looking to our own resolve is futile.  Faith born of ourselves is senseless.  Faith nurtured by a Holy God enables one to speak with resolve, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."  (Luke 23:34)
