I think in the past, certainly when I was younger, we did a lot by example without really realising it because that was how communities were and faith was as part of it. <br />Now, even in my Catholic school we do a lot about social justice but often forget to mention Jesus and we hardly ever talk about having a personal relationship with him. I don't know if I would still believe if I hadn't be blessed enough to 'meet him'. <br />But we can't give up - we have to be full of the energy that the Resurrection gives us. <br />Prayers and blessings Mari +xMairie https://www.blogger.com/profile/17663275897097146508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613300888653014667.post-1236219617197101722011-04-30T10:21:59.292-07:002011-04-30T10:21:59.292-07:00"blessed are those who have not seen and yet ..."blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - Sometimes I don't know if just knowing and believing will be enough for generations to come.
