Welcome to the next series of Faith Renewal.
You may be aware that I am involved with the RCIA process here with the Catholic Parishes of Penticton. What you may not be aware of is that I have been directly involved for over 30 years!
My life has been greatly blessed and enriched by the journey I have been walking. My heart, through the Grace of God, has to be opened to the richness of the Catholic faith as I have taken step upon step along side with my family, my friends, my colleagues and those countless persons who have also taken a personal journey and are now Catholics. Every year I fall deeper in love with my God, not by my own merits, but because God introduces me to so many incredibly faithful people and their stories become intertwined with mine and the journey continues, day after beautiful day.
I hope to share with you a little bit of why, as Catholics, we do what we do, say what we say and live the life we are called to live in relationship with our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
It is my hope and prayer, that this series of Faith Renewal will answer our questions, challenge our lives and encourage us to have a deeper, more personal understanding of the journey we are on together.
We are going to spend the next week on the letter “A”. There’s so much more than just seven days to share with you. I hope these reflections will become part of your journey.
