 | | Faith is the on-going and lifelong response to the call to conversion that is now whispered and now shouted in the depths of a person’s very being, and in the unraveling history of a family, a community, a nation and the whole church. |
 | | It is well to be reminded that as we grow in faith and the moral life, self indulgent living, an excess of material goods, irresponsible use of alcohol, smoking, indulging one’s appetites, overeating, and not exercising and caring for one’s health are all instances of moral decline and potential sin. |
 | | Faith is anchored in the mystery of God, the mystery of Jesus Christ and the Mystery of the Church, which is more, oh so much more than the flaws of any of its ministers. |
