Human Nature

I was very intrigued by Father Jack Brennan's statement that we have a tendancy not to appreciate our own and others' humanity.  Maybe so, but, it is Christ's humanity and our humanity that emphasizes our greatness - our potential for being with Christ.  If we did not have fear, disappointment, anger or mistrust then our actions would be automatic with no real struggle and no free will.  Our faith is made more holy by our struggle to believe.  Our divinity comes from how we deal with our mortality - our human nature.  We struggle to rise above our human nature to have compassion, to love the unlovable, to face dangers with fear throbbing in our throat.  Jesus went through all these emotions and showed us how to live, how to love, how to die and ultimately to have faith in our love and in God's love.  How can we not embrace our humanity?

Just Starting

I never thought that by going for my Master Catechist certification that I would be advancing my knowlege in technology.  This is my first "Blog."  Rather exciting.  Who knew - Jesus is nudging me out my box into the blogger world.  Definitely looking forward to what else I will learn in this two year journey!

I just had to add to this last post.  Figuring out this blog thing has almost been more of a learning experience than the class itself.  It has taken a month for me to figure out how to get back on to this blog.  My daughter laughs at my late night calls venting my frustration over passwords, URL's, and links.  I miss my old fashioned notebook and pen.  However, I am on now and hopefully it won't be another month between posts.
