lumen fidei - 5
Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed the year of faith as a way to help us to appreciate the faith that we so often take for granted. He wanted us experience the joy and wonder of faith as if for the first time. It is a joy and a wonder which we see in the lives of martyrs. We can know the same "new experience" that they knew. It is the same "luminous vision of existence" for which they gave up their lives upon which we should be basing all of our choices.
Let us look around. Does existence look luminous? No? Than let us step more appropriate our faith more deeply. It can show us where there is light even amidst all the apparent darkness. Only then will we be able to profess the faith in its "unity and integrity".
