The freedom not to have to pretend that we are somebody we are not. The freedom to grow into our faith. He just doesn t want to get involved. Ellie Wiesel went through the horrors of Auschwitz. When we come to church, faith is the great word.
Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Yet for each of us there are questions and doubts, fears and uncertainties. But there are no words of judgment. They are not made to be ashamed of their doubts or questions. Even Thomas, who refuses to take the word of all the other disciples, is not criticized by Jesus.
