Questions people ask                                    (Fr O’Flynn-Intercom)
Q. What would you hope to come from the Year of Faith?
A. An ancient tradition sees the spiritual life as a tripod supported by the three legs of prayerfulness, study and action. All three are needed for a balanced spirituality. Nowadays the weakest leg is study. Religious education at home, in schools and in preaching has been lacking the backbone of solid doctrine. Many people today are well educated in various fields of knowledge but lack an adult knowledge of their religion. The wonderful documents of the Second Vatican Council need to be looked at with fresh eyes. My hope is that the Year of Faith will be accepted as a challenge to get adult religious programmes up and running.

 To be educated  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Anonymous)

"To look is one thing,
To see what you look at is another,
To understand what you see is a third,
To learn from what you understand,

Is still something else,

But to act on what you learn
is all that really matters."
