At the end of the 11 th Century, Anselm wrote out a famous and controversial argument for the existence of God. In the pagan world, Christian faith is criticized as a deficiency of limited intellects who cling to a collection of more or less stupid ideas that cannot be proved and might be better abandoned. Not so for Anselm. In his eyes, there is no being truly and fully human without first believing. Without faith, we are only half human.
Faith is the crown of creation.
Faith takes us into a larger world. Faith is our ticket to a new country inhabited by the Spirit of God. Faith is a conscious act of the will that connects us to the reality of God. It is a way of being that opens up new horizons of understanding. Faith connects us to a realm of mind-blowing possibilities.
