Faith is a free, undeserved gift from our Creator. We must accept it, but we then have a responsibility to nurture it and learn more about our Faith. We can then help it grow and mature as we come to understand more deeply God’s unconditional love for each of us. There are many opportunities for Faith growth and formation here at St. Francis de Sales. We simply need to take advantage of them.
Something to think about -- God is our best friend. Every relationship deepens, and gets better, IF we know more about the person. This is true of our spouse, our friends, our neighbors, and even our parents. The more we learn their likes, dislikes, etc., the better we understand them and the easier it becomes to love them even more. The same is so true with God. The more we learn about Him, the more we love Him. Faith is such a powerful thing! Without it, how would we get through the “hard times”? There is an old song that had the words “… the more I see you, the more I want you…”. That is all about learning more about the other.
At St. Francis de Sales, we are blessed to have many ways to learn more about our Savior. He is truly our Best Friend. There are so many ways to learn more about our best friend – the Parish offers opportunities for all age groups! Please take advantage of the opportunities to make your life happier!
