Thank you Steven. I often feel I’m going in a very bad direction when I feel uncertainty in my faith. Your reflection gave me a hopeful perspective. Happy Easter season.

What a great way to define uncertainty as a hopeful beginning and not an outcome of failure or lack of faith. Thank you for your enlightening reflection.

Steven, you and several others on this blog are very talented writers. I really like reading/reflecting the gospels the not so obvious light. (The other 10) Very insightful. And kudos to your wife and her editing. As I’ve stated before, many of these reflections are better than the homilies I hear at church. As Blessed Easter to all the writers and readers in this blog.
Your brother in Christ

A perfect reflection for today’s gospel. Each one of us will have uncertainty at times in faith – we are all fallen in nature. When uncertainty raises its ugly head, it’s how we act that is key. God knows our heart – we need to give it to Him and stay open to His graces in those uncertainties. Love the analogy of the ? versus the (.). Beautiful way to say we must be open to God!! Thank you for sharing your faith and talents with us.

Thanks Steven for reminding me of my own uncertainties and I can tell you at times I feel very hopeless until I sit down and start recollecting back
God bless you Steven and your family. For our friend Uchenna with time your wife will convert to Catholicism only do not give up. I promise to pray with you for her.

Thanks Steven! Didn’t Paul say, “I will boast in my weaknesses so that the power of Christ may rest on me?” It came to mind while reading your reflection. I’ve had to put away my pride time and time again in order to allow Christ to help me and give me strength and courage to do what is right. We are no different than the disciples, and that gives me comfort. This will be a big help to me going into the Triduum tomorrow. God bless all this holy week.

Thank you Stephen. I found meaning in your reflection. Faith and punctuation…I love it. Fewer ‘periods’ and more ‘question marks’ in prayer sounds like a start. One makes a statement, and the other invites dialogue. Who wouldn’t benefit from more conversation with God?
