“I believe in a greater power
that manifests in a sacred spark of creativity within me.
I know and accept this.
I am nourished with the passion of affirmative prayer.
And with this,
and with a leap of faith,
I go forth and co-create with source.”

In his weekly email, Fr Richard Rohr speaks about belied and faith:
“The terms belief and faith are often used synonymously. Yet they are very different. As David Benner says, “Belief is conviction of the trustworthiness of a proposition. . . . Faith, on the other hand, can never be reduced to beliefs or thoughts. . . . Beliefs are often simply objects of attachment that provide a misleading sense of certainty.” Faith welcomes unknowing and mystery.”
