May 19: My Faith Map

My Faith Map by Frank McConville
Miraculously, I was born a “cradle Catholic”, educated by Charity nuns and Jesuits. My faith (beliefs requiring action) has matured over 75 years. My belief in the Nature and Will of God is secure. My actions to follow the Will of God are more difficult. For me, God has revealed God’s plan and Will through creation, the prophets, scripture and ultimately becoming Incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ; demonstrating in Word and Deed, how I should live my life. A challenge I share with St. Paul, IS, given my human nature and my free will…, how do I transform and convert from my will to God’s Will in my daily life? What has helped me on my journey? My family and friends. Marrying the right person. As a young couple, joining with other couples in the Christian Family Movement and Marriage Encounter, to form a strong family commitment. Coming to know Jesus through a Cursillo. Active in the Voice of the Faithful. Teaching Religious Education. Being active in parish life. And celebrating Eucharist with the St. John’s Community for 40 years.
