Words from Canon Niall -
Paul Tillich in his book ‘The Courage to Be’ said faith is the courage to accept acceptance. Our experiences tell us we are not always accepted. Rejection and alienation can often define us. Yet God’s love is unconditional and total. That is why Tillich uses the word ‘courage’. We have to make the leap of faith from our doubt to accept acceptance. When we do we enter a world where we are loved, accepted and understand how much we are loved. The words of God in Isaiah are addressed to us. ’..you are precious in my eyes, and honoured and I love you’ (Isa 43:4). Have a Blessed Week.

Thresholds of Hope : the Vicariate for Adult Formation - another wonderful tool when proclaiming the good news of God's grace to all. St John Henry Newman believed that the lay faithful were to take a full part in the life of the Church, to be confident in expressing their Catholic Faith and willing to share its beauty with others. Hope you find this resource useful; more here https://thresholdsofhope.co.uk/
