And yet so many non-Catholic churches seem to deal ONLY in emotion!!!

As Catholics we have so many blessings. Our faith is full, it is emotional, it is intellectual, it is based on the Truth that cannot be denied and when our emotional faith has failed us at times we can grasp the intellectual faith.

When words fail us, we can speak to God in prayers written centuries ago and know that there really isn’t anything new under the sun, God knows already or we can just remain silent and listen. We can worship by partaking of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ or sit in quiet contemplation before Him.

It IS as complete a faith that we will find this side of Heaven. The Sacraments and the sacramentals remind us everytime we participate or see them that God is in charge and that we need to only rely on Him.

What a faith we have! One that operates through our senses, our physical bodies our minds and our spirits to make us whole through Christ, our Lord.
