LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
We have heard the story of the Good Samaritan so
many times. Have we ever realized that it is an ene-
my and outcast who is the hero of the story? Freed
from laws that limit acts of mercy and compassion,
the Samaritan becomes the example of how to love
God by loving our neighbor. Our minds know what
our faith teaches, and our mouths know what words
to speak. Ultimately, deep down in our conscience,
we know how we ought to act. Yet, as we encoun-
ter each new day, do we always do what we are
called to do? Our neighbors live next to us and far
away. They are down the street, sitting beside us,
living in Mexico, Honduras, Ecuador, Guatemala,
Poland, Russia, China, Korea, and Iraq. Our neigh-
bors are even found in people who want to hurt us.
How do we love them as Jesus asks us to? How we
answer this question will determine how much we
really love God.
WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED
Question: I've heard that faith is a theological vir-
tue. What does that mean?
Answer: To say a virtue is theological means that it
comes as a gift from God. St. Thomas Aquinas, a Do-
minican monk who crafted the famous arguments
for the existence of God, wrote: "This alone is the true
knowledge of God: to know that God is beyond
knowing." God is transcendent. This word comes
from the Latin "transcendere," meaning "to climb be-
yond." When something is transcendent, it exists be-
yond our normal range of experience. Philosopher
Peter Kreeft put it simply: "God is always more."
While God created us in His image and likeness, too
often we re-create Him in ours. We project our deep-
est hopes, our subliminal fears, and our hidden
dreams, and conjure up our own image of what
God could be. Yet God can never be limited to our
own perception of Him.
That's where faith comes in. We read in the Cate-
chism that "faith is the theological virtue by which we
believe in God and believe all that He has said and
revealed to us and all that the Holy Church proposes
for our belief" (CCC 1814). We can know God
through reason, to a point. As human beings, we
want to know and understand the world around us,
but God isn't in the world around us. He's beyond it.
The best way to come to know God is not through
our own clever mental maneuvering, but through
trusting in God's revelation of Himself. We might think
we know who God is, but the only way we can have
any idea is if we trust, through the virtue of faith, who
He has revealed Himself to be.
