What's Eating Away At Your Faith? (1)

At St Michael Parish we are going to do our best to assist people during this "Year of Faith" so that all of us can come out of it in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. We have all sorts of plans to use Social Media, our website and our printed material to challenge our members. In our committee meetings we will take a small portion of the time and dedicate it to a teaching or a prayer time.
Our associate pastor, Father Russell, asked a good question at our meeting the other day, "What is eating away at your faith?" This is where we really need to start if we're going to identify a way to strengthen our faith. So I ask YOU - "What is eating away at your faith?" Is it your job, your busy life, your neglect, or your own bad habits? Is it other people, bad preachers, scandals, or sin? All of us have something in our life that works against our natural desire to be in a deeper relationship with God. Some of those things we can control and some of them we cannot. Please take a few moments NOW to identify those corrosive elements in your life.
I plan on writing a couple of more times about this topic with some more specific things I have found that affect my faith and what I've found out from others.

Peace
