What is the depth and quality of your faith commitment? In the last analysis, faith is not a way of speaking or even of thinking; it is a way of living. Maurice Blondel said, If you want to know what a person really believes, dont listen to what hey says but watch what he does. Only the practice of faith can verify what we believe. Does faith permeate the whole of your life? Does it form your judgments about death, about success? Does it influence the way you read the newspaper? Do you have a divine sense of humor that sees through people and events into the unfolding plan of God? When things are turbulent on the surface of your life, do you retain a quiet calm, firmly fixed in ultimate reality? As Therese of Lisieux said, Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things are passing. God alone remains. Does your faith shape your Advent season this year? Brennan Manning from Reflections for Ragamuffins
