In our 鈥淲hy I Believe鈥� series, people share their real-life stories about God working in the everyday and why they believe鈥攕hare yours.
Seeing the birth of our four children.
The light that comes into life when performing good deeds for others.
The brief moments in my life when I have experienced being personally loved by the Other.
While searching for peace for all the people of the world.
My insatiable and constant companion, loneliness.
The smile of every baby that I have ever met.
The evil in the world needs a response.
Music, ballet, great artistry of all kinds.
The oceans.
Evolution, from stardust to reflective being.
The overwhelming gift of the Incarnation.
An emptiness that can only be filled by the Spirit.
The tenderness and sensitivity of caregivers.
The love given to me by my mother.
The sacrifices made by my father.
Faith gives me hope.
Faith is my anchor amidst the chaos.
Faith is my anchor amidst the anger.
Faith gives meaning to every aspect of my life.
In my heart of hearts, this is what feels right.
My lord, I believe, help thou my unbelief.
