I believe in Love! Love -that the Father and Son has shown me and the Holy Spirit working in me through my reading the Word of God understanding the traditions of my Church and receiving the Sacraments of my Church.
I believe in the Goodness of other people-that we are created in God's image-that we have strayed from the straight path by "sin" but that we can be brought back to that path again
As the Prophet Mohammed wrote in the Holy Quran-Surah 1:6-"Show us the Straight Path."
For me-a Christian -that straight path leads to and through Jesus Christ to our Heavenly Father.
The closest I am to Jesus is in the Holy Eucharist-where I believe I take in the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of Jesus.

I believe in tolerance. I believe that there is some truth and much good found in all major religious traditions.

As His Holiness-The Dalai Lama explained it from the writings of The Budda-for me--I believe "It is more useful to be aware of a single weakness in myself than a thousand weaknesses of someone else"

Oh-Lord-I am weak---but Thou Art Strong!-Help me in my weakness!

I believe in social justice-that in many respects-the poor are the face of Christ.
The person I would most like to emulate (but poorly do) is Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

I believe in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death.

I believe in a God of justice and love-who will hopefully welcome me at the end of this earthly journey as a Father would welcome one of his children.

I believe I am on a journey of faith with many ups and downs-at times my faith is strong-and at times it is weak.

I believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church-as the best expression of the Christian community of faith in guiding me on my journey of faith.
