The Mystery of Faith
In 'Fidei' there is only one requirement, faith. So, in order to have faith, we must have faith.
It's not a conundrum (although it may feel like one) and, if it does, then there is a lack of faith.
Assuming faith does not require a strictly religious devotion. It is available to everyone. But devotional stories do serve up important ideas worth pondering. At the very least they are evidence of our need to find purpose, balance, connection, and solace in the face of extraordinary chaos - the things beyond our control. Of course just about everything is beyond our control except for this one thing; how we choose to move through our experiences and our reaction to all the events that occur on the journey of a life.
My choice is to experience life through small acts of faith based in reason. I hold their hands and keep walking.
I have faith that reason can rise. I have faith in faith.
