It is a memorable one. However, CS Lewis is not the first to hold such a perspective. The 11th Century Western Bishop, Anselm of Canterbury writes that faith precedes reason. "Nor do I seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe that I may understand. For this too I believe, that unless I first believe, I shall not understand." Faith is not seeing before we understand. We believe in order to understand what we see. conrade This quote has been on my blog since last Fall 2009. It is a memorable one.

I live in Enna, a town located in the centre of Sicily. The way how I got rid of my anxiety is written in my book “Travels of the mind”. Without the God’s grace I never could succeed in winning my battle. For healing myself, I began to travel and in those travels I came across many people or angels who helped me. These encounters happened in Rome, London, in the Natuzza Evolo’s house and so on. Everything is written in this book. If you have any questions, I am most willing to offer my views on this topic.

We are all of immense value to the One who purchased us with His own blood. But let's all remember there is a double application. Yes, it is true of you and me, "Joe" and "Mary" Christian going to nice clean churches and experiencing various levels of God's blessing; but it is equally true of those who haven't yet embraced this truth. God made them TOO. God made the poor and the needy too. They are NOT junk either. They can be American homeless or foreign orphans; the survivors of a devasted Haiti, but God made them too. Let us remember our less afluent brothers and sisters, here and abroad in both our prayers and in our giving. We who are in a condition of relative comfort must share with those who are not. In doing so, we are witnesses of our Lord in both word and deed putting "feet to our faith" and showing people Jesus with skin on.
