Faith

Even in our darkest hour
If we have Faith
We have everything
We have lost nothing
Even if we have lost all
If we have Faith
We have Life
Even when we meet our demise
We Live on
If we have Faith

I had not realized it...
But the mere fact that I had felt the urge to publish a post titled "Life Eternal" here - on March 14th - which is the birthdate of my dear recently departed saintly father - was indicative that he would soon access that Greatest of Gifts.
And God was preparing me to accept it too.

For my father had Faith, during his earthly life
And I have Faith as well

Born in the Age of Aquarius, destined to seek out truths in many an art form, trained as a historian and a journalist but truly a prose-lover... Luciano is out to dispel any clichés and reinvent them all both to the tune of a little something called the truth as also to his own image - and being old-fashioned, he does not mind that distinction one infinitesimal tiny bit at all...! "There are two ways to spread the light; be the candle... or the mirror that reflects It." I have chosen to be the latter... okay? ~*~ "To be not only a seeker of light... but a dream weaver of light" ~*~ For as surely as the moon reflects the light from the sun, you and I can reflect the Light from Above - and be, indeed, the light of this world! ~*~*~*~ NOTE: THERE ARE COOKIES ~ from at least three parties~ ON ALL OF MY BLOGS! ~*~ accept it!

Take the irreverent quiz: "Are you going to Heaven or Hell?"

MY RESULTS: Clouds and Jesus
You're a good person and you've got a front row seat in the Kingdom of God. Yawn, that's great. How about helping a friend out with some box seat tickets?
Hmm... depends... mainly if you are worthy of such "help"... "buddy"! God's Grace is for all though - that is true! (Evidently, the above quiz was made by an atheist...)

Nota Bene: the ascending soul pictured below thrice rather than once is NOT the quiz-making atheist!

Now let it be clear here
that Du Monde... est immonde!
*lol*
But their little effort there
Is included here, if only for the
mention that GOD IS COMING
GOD IS ON HIS WAY
JUDGMENT DAY - YEAH "BABY"!
Whether you want it or not!
It is no wonder though
that Du Monde would not want
La Fin Du Monde!

Take the quiz:
What type of Christian are you?

Catholic
You are a true Roman Catholic.
You love your religion.
You go by the Catechism, verbatum.
You pray to God and the Saints.
You believe in prayer for the dead and you believe Jesus is always present to you in the Holy Eucharist.
You follow your beloved Pope and you try to do the best you can on your pilgrimage on this earth!

Another quiz that assumes too much; though a million times better than the earlier quiz, located on the sidebar...
Not all catholics are exactly like this description above;
several, like me, don't pray for the dead but rather think that the dead are indeed better off and thus in a far better position to pray (or intercede) FOR US!
THAT IS WHAT THE SAINTS DO, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
Likewise, we don't go by the Catechism - we go by The Word and that is THE HOLY BIBLE.
Also, we have respect for the Pope, but that is about it...
Jesus is the Beloved One and the Redeemer - not any pope!
We follow Him -JESUS- not just anyone in frocks!
The quiz maker this time got it absolutely right on one point though: Jesus sure is always present in the wonderful mystery of the Holy Eucharist ~ Amen!
