Fidei Defensor Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I prayed specifically for you during mass today. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 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.

Fidei Defensor Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Had hoped to make it to confession today, but there was a huge line. I shall try again tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
