We should strive for our faith to be all God intends it to be...

"In our generation the Christian Faith finds itself in a much deeper crisis than at any other time in the past. In this situation it is no solution to shut our eyes in fear in the face of pressing problems, or to simply pass over them. If faith is to survive this age, then it must be lived, and above all, lived in this age. And this is possible only if a manifestation of faith is shown to have value for our present day, by growing to knowledge and fulfillment." —Pope Benedict XVI

Mercy and Grace

Mercy is not getting what I do deserve and Grace is getting what I could never deserve...it's a pure gift...Mercy and Grace are pivitol to who we are and our deepest needs.
