Year of Faith


Today is the first day of the Year of Faith! My roommate and teammate Susie is in Rome right now, and went to the opening Mass, celebrated by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. The Year of Faith will help support the New Evangelization, provide resources on the celebration that is the Mass, and help each Catholic learn how to make the faith more personal. It will help promote a re-conversion of every soul to Christ and help us to be better witnesses to the faith in our everyday life.

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom […] And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Col 3:16-17).
