YEAR OF FAITH: Oct. 11, 2012 - Nov. 24, 2013 "…They called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith..."(Acts 14:27). In the Acts of the Apostles, we learn that God has opened the door of faith for the early Church. But did you know that God has opened the door of faith for each one of us and he invites us to step through the threshold into a deeper relationship with him. The upcoming Year of Faith is an opportunity for every Catholic to turn towards Jesus Christ, encounter him in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and rediscover the Faith and Church. We are all looking for happiness, peace and love. “Have not fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that God is with you, therefore no harm can befall you, all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.: Pope John Paul II And whether we know it or not, we will find ourselves most fulfilled when we find Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Bishop David Ricken of Green Bay, Wisconsin, chairman of the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop, has offered ten ways Catholics can live the year of Faith: * Participate in Mass often, if not daily * Make a good confession * Learn about the lives of the saints * Read the Bible daily * Read the documents of Vatican II * Study the Catechism * Volunteer in the parish * Help those in need * Bring a friend to mass * Incorporate the Beatitudes in daily life
