Reaching Out

 Faith is necessary to have a relationship with God.  Wojciech Giertych expresses this in "The Spark of Faith."  He is the papal theologian, yet writes clearly theological concepts that even I, as a lay person can understand.  I savored his thoughts and took many notes.

        Everyone's faith is different because God individualizes the grace for each of us, enabling us to be brought into a close relationship with God.  That's one of the mysteries of faith.

       Faith does not destroy reason or we wouldn't ask questions.  Human reason ponders faith and comes to a definition or explanation approaching satisfaction for each of us.  This changes, grows, with prayer and sacramental grace.

       Wojciech Giertych book is not an easy read, but it's not difficult.  I read it as spiritual/meditation--a little at a time.  Thus I found it very readable and enjoyable.
