A Faith Still Searching
There is a crisis inthe life of faith of many Catholics, even in what once was
complacently called “Holy Ireland.” It can be sparked by different things, like the past
cruelties of an unjust system, a disastrous love-relationship, family tensions, the tragic
injury or death of friends. Sometimes religious feeling can wither as financial
prosperity grows, and our need for God is stifled by a sense of self-sufficiency.
Perhaps new friendships that we make with nice people who hold no religious beliefs
make us feel that God really does not matter after all. On school retreats we used to
hear that going through a questioning phase does not mean we have lost the faith.
Questioning of faith can also be a growth point. A faith which is challenged can
emerge as deeper and more genuine, changing us from the comfort of childhood
certainties to new horizons, searching to base our faith on our experiences. Faith is
neither a purely intellectual nor a purely emotional attitude. It has an intellectual side,
professing what we judge to be true; and in part it is a matter of responding to
feelings; but these are a gift of the Spirit which moves us to give ourselves over to One
greater than ourselves. If we hand ourselves over to this sense of God and let go of the
illusion of being only for ourselves, it can bring us inner, spiritual growth.
