How we view ourselves and our spiritual lives are often different. We sometimes separate or categorize the various aspects of our lives. We accept the idea that modern life is complicated.
As Catholics we believe and profess different prayers and creeds. Our lives as Catholics should extend beyond the walls of our churches.
If our daily lives were built around prayer and the Beatitudes, would we still describe them as complicated. Just what makes our lives so complicated? Is it the number of choices we have, or how we make our decisions, or how we avoid making some of our decisions?
Our daily lives have a built in rhythm. We decide what we are going to do each day. We decide when we are going to pray, when we are going to Mass, when we are going to read the Bible.
Our daily lives are also filled with all types of questions and competing interests providing all types of thoughts, all types motivations, all types of moments of and reasons for indecision.
How we feel about ourselves and our relationship with God provides us with confidence and hope.
When our faith is strong we can do anything, even ride a bicycle during a snow storm.
