Please pray for me. I am so terribly conflicted right now, my head and heart are going to explode.  I'm finding it hard to reconcile faith and reason, even though I know deep down that they don't have to be conflicting.

I will pray for you as requested. But I'll add one piece of advice. As you look at what the faith teaches, evaluate it in terms of reason, too.

 

Not so much the supernatural - some things must be taken on faith alone, such as the existence of angels who deliver messages to humans, or Jesus' healings, or transubstantiation.

 

But there is a great deal of reason in charity (seeing that we are all interconnected), love, forgiveness, examination of conscience, self-denial as a means to maturity, and whole lot of other elements of the faith.

Had hoped to make it to confession today, but there was a huge line. I shall try again tomorrow!
