If one does not learn more about his faith, his faith will not stand strong. Reason---our desire for truth---is needed to enrich our spiritual life; as much as our reasoning (secular, that is) is enlivened---given purpose---by the spirituality of our faith. In perspective, Benedict XVI mentions: “If man were merely a random product of evolution in some place on the margins of the universe, then his life would make no sense or might even be a chance of nature. But no, Reason is there at the beginning: creative, divine Reason.” God made us with his creative love: for a purpose, for a reason; to be in Love, to be in God. Our Creator perfectly desires for us to believe in Him and gradually deepen our divine love relationship with Him through Christ in the Holy Spirit. John 15:9 says, "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love." We have to stay in love, "stay in God." One who has not God's inexhaustible love, will be exhausted with life. Love will propel us to understand our reason for being. Our continuos understanding of our faith will make us excellent people; for now we can work, serve, and relate beyond the motivation of incentives but from a realization of our God-given role in this world.
