Questions people ask
Q. I try to pray and meditate but sometimes, the more I do so, I run into questions about the faith. What would you advise me to do?
A. I think God sometimes leads us into areas of questioning to shake us up and to lead us to a deeper faith. Cardinal Newman once remarked that ten thousand difficulties do not make one doubt. One can have a solid certainty about God while at the same time wrestling with questions and problems beyond our answers. The Catholic Catechism is very helpful on this combination of certainty and obscurity in faith. A mature faith retains certainty while coping with obscurity or darkness.

We pray for and congratulate Tony Mc Laughlin and Roisin Devine who were married in St. Patrick’s Church recently. We wish them many happy days and Gods’ blessing on their marriage as they all begin a new life as Mr. & Mrs.
