love. Our journey to God, Is just that, a journey, a process, where we
cooperate with God’s active ever present love for us, and His continuing
creation of us. It is a journey that we share with one another, where we
respond to God’s call for us to be His love in the world. A journey that is
not so much about me as an individual as it is about all of us. Again
from, Pope Francis’ encyclical “Lumen Fidei”, “Christian faith,
inasmuch as it proclaims the truth of God’s total love and opens us to the
power of that love, penetrates to the core of our human experience. Each
of us comes to the light because of love, and each of us is called to love
to remain in the light. Once we discover the full light of Christ’s love,
we realize that each of the loves in our own lives had always contained a
ray of that light, and we understand its ultimate destination. That fact,
that our human loves contain that ray of light, also helps us see how all
love is meant to share in the complete self-gift of the Son of God for our
sake”. FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE; Faith, we accept God’s love, Hope
we trust in God’s love, and Love, we give, we give God’s love. These
five foundations, of our relationship with God, are conditions of our
existence, like gravity or the air we breathe, but do we see them that

our expectations, from our own experiences, from our living and
learning. We form our ideas about God, and our relationship to Him the
same way. How well do your ideas about the relationship between you
