Faith
transforms the earth into a paradise.
By
it our hearts are raised with the joy
of
our nearness to Heaven.
Every
moment reveals God to us.
Faith
is our light in this life.
by
it we know the truth without seeing it,
we
are put in touch with what we cannot feel,
recognize
what we cannot see,
and
view the world stripped of all its outer shell.
Faith
unlocks God's treasury.
It
is the key to all the vastness of His wisdom.
The
emptiness of all created things is disclosed by faith,
and
it is by faith
that
God reveals himself.
With
faith,
All
that is dark becomes light,
and
what is bitter becomes sweet.
Faith
transforms ugliness into beauty,
and
malice into kindness.
Faith
is the mother of tenderness,
trust,
and joy...
There
is nothing faith cannot overcome;
It
passes beyond all shadows
and
through the darkest clouds
to
reach the truth, which it embraces
and
can never be parted from
~
