Doubts And Questions

Brand new Deacon Patrick Knippenberg gave a killer homily today…the kind that makes you sit on the edge of your seat and tugs at your insides. It was especially meaningful to me because I live in a world of doubts and unanswered questions.
It was reassuring to learn that faith has as element of doubt in it, because if I knew…if I had positive proof…there would be no need for faith. It was conforting to find out that I was in good company with those that worshiped but doubted.
Mathews gospel 28: 16 -17 “The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. 
When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
”
Dear Lord Jesus;
Please forgive my nagging obsessions,
With so many doubts and so many questions.
Strengthen my faith, please send me the grace.
To get me back to home base.
Amen.
