I am trying to be a good Catholic but lately have been fighting temptations that would lead me back to a life of sin and destruction. Your meditation today gives me the strength to fight for my soul and to live my faith. Thank you

Such would our love and mercy be that we would draw people in, as Jesus did on the cross. The beatitudes beautifully express the life He wants us to live.

To me, rectitude, the law (having a united front with regard to dogma) has been stood on its’ head by Jesus.

Given that, I can understand how human beings want to avoid the slipperiness that characterizes christian life when lived as a process. It can feel unmooring, and sound to others like we don’t know what we believe. I think Thomas Merton is an example of someone who allowed his concepts to evolve over time, yet his daily practice and witness was constant.

It is two ways of looking at faith – the emphasis on a consistent dogma, and preoccupation with the How of catholic christian life.
