Faithfulness is a test of how true our love is. Faithfulness writes the story of your life, sometimes full of sacrifices, but always genuine, beautiful and good. Unfaithfulness writes another life story. It robs your love of truth and beauty, divests it of sincerity and transparency. It makes you secretive and deceitful.  It makes you tell lies. It makes you lose your integrity as a person, and the recognition of your own falseness will cause further difficulties for you.


"Faith is said first to be an obedient response to God"

John Paul II, Encyclical Fides et Ratio, on the relations between faith and reason,
14 September 1998, no 13

 
Commentary

A year alter they got married, my parents were separated by the war. My father found himself in a foreign country, where he had to struggle to survive. My mother stayed behind and had to live with a newborn baby - me - under a harsh communist regime. My parents were separated for twelve years. Over that time, their faithfulness to each other, and their faith in God, never failed. Their faith was the solid rock on which they built their lives. It helped them to overcome countless difficulties, and enabled them to take up their life together again once they managed to find each other. After they were reunited, they had four more children.
