3 Pastoral Reflections FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER What is Faith? We have a certain belief in Jesus. We look at Him as a human being who is a cut above us because He is divine. He led a good life, did wondrous things, died, rose from the dead. We believe in what he taught. We follow Him. But there is more to faith than that. Jesus is the revelation of GOD. But we have to get a sense of the colossal magnitude of GOD, in order to appreciate what it means to believe in GOD. Think about the immensity of the universe and God created this. God is greater than all this. It staggers the mind. That is why we have to get beyond a small-time faith which sees God as sort of a special person out there somewhere. God, this living, loving being we call God, is utterly beyond anything we can imagine, is greater than we ever could comprehend. When seen in these terms, we should tremble with awe at the thought that this great, colossal, holy being called God listens to me, loves me that I connect with this God. So how can we have faith? How can we believe in someone of that magnitude? This is the heart of faith. Believe in God because God takes the initiative to connect with each one of us. For some incomprehensible reason, God created you, me, so that we could relate to God. God made me that way. There is a pull in me toward God that was put there by God. Faith is nothing more and nothing less than accepting my connection with God who chose not to be distant, but to be close to each person...encircling, enfolding in every human being. The Gospels of the Easter Season remind us how wonderfully close God is to us. He is as close as the yearnings in our hearts for the human heart was made for God and every yearnings goes to God. How wonderful to have the closeness of a God like that. That is what Easter is all about.
