Adult Spirituality
Whatever else it may be, faith is a gift. It is offered to us again
and again. And being a true gift, it is never forced. We can choose
to accept or not to accept.
Whatever else it may be, the gift of faith is also expansive. Faith
expands and enhances our capacity to experience life. It opens our eyes
to the abiding presence of the Divine within all of creation. With faith
we come to discover who God really is and what it means to be human.
We can know our true origin and our true destiny. With faith we find
purpose and meaning. We can trust in the worth of our actions and choices.
Faith moves us from surface perceptions to those places where the deepest
mysteries of life unfold.
Whatever else it may be, faith is God’s gift. Faith is not something
we acquire by any acts of our own initiative. Let’s not think
that programs in adult spirituality and faith formation can confer or
increase the gift of faith. Programs such as those that you will see
described here are only tools meant to help us respond to God’s
gift of faith. Lectures, workshops and retreats bring us together so
that we can learn how better to grow into and out of the faith that
has been offered to us. And perhaps most importantly, they offer us
new opportunities to accompany each other on the journey of spirit.
