Reflection for April 8 - Easter Day

Many people think they have no faith because they feel they haven’t. They do not realize that they must make a choice to believe, take the risk of believing, of committing themselves and setting themselves to live out the commitment. Never mind that they continue to feel that they do not believe. Under cover of being “authentic” we can spend our lives waiting for the kind of certainty we cannot have (Ruth Burrows, Carmelite sister, “Prayer is God’s work,” Christian Century, April 4, 2012).
