There are Faithless People

Faithless people are all around us today. Being faithless appears to be fashionable, acceptable. Being faithless allows individuals to become more selfish, more self-absorbed. Rudeness, betrayal rule as part of the ways of how life is. Goodness, holiness, kindness are seen as weakness. Going to Mass is challenged as being a waste of time, as being silly.

Although a faithless person seeks praise, seeks thanks, seeks attention, when these are receive their is often with a hint of unease, a hint of sarcasm, a hint of regret as if something is missing.

Faithless people have a hard time loving, a hard time trusting anyone. Their enemy resides within their hearts, minds, and souls. Their enemy oppresses their thoughts, their hopes. Darkness cloaks them even as they laugh and dance around life bejeweled, bewitching.

Mourning often accompanies them as they try to push God away, try to destroy another’s faith in God, faith in humanity.

The faithful can defeat the faithless. The faithful have prayer and confidence and love.

Silently offer prayer for the faithless. Silently offer love universal, love unconditional to the faithless.

Live your life, giving praise and glory to God as you do everyday with optimism, compassion, and mercy.

Faithful believers share a quiet, confident poignancy with each other, with God.
