A Definition Of Truth
A failure to communicate. Just like Babel. Can’t agree on truth. What about life? Life may be the way to truth. Something we have in common. We all have life and would like it respected. Respect life. Easier to define. The opposite of death. If we can’t get that right, we will have a hard time getting to the truth. A place to start.
A Necessary Ingredient
A suffering that somehow brings out the best and the worst. One way or another we react to suffering whether it be ours or others. The cross is a reminder of who suffered and why. Why suffer when you can take a pill or just change the channel? You can ignore it until it happens to you. Then you have to look for solutions, reasons, and meaning. If you have the time.
A Word of God
A test of your bible. Does it have the word ‘test’? If not, do you know what you are doing here? You are being tested. From a bible that does contain the word ‘test’, you are being refined, purified, and tested. Those with insight shall understand. Words have meaning and they can be mistranslated.

A Reason to Live
A meaning for life. A test of wills. Don’t bury your talent. Learn what you can. Teach what you can. You will need help. Ask for it. Seek the truth. You will find it. Knock and it will be open unto you. The Truth will not only set you free, It will make you happy. It will help you pass the final test. We are being tested. You may not find that word in your bible.

A Home for Doubt
A necessary explanation for what we experience. We have to make sense of it. To ignore it is to deny reality. To deny objectivity. Call it speculation, conjecture, or whatever but please accept the fact that there must be a reason, a purpose, a meaning, etc.

A Purpose
A reason for the Apocalypse. We know where for sure. Patmos. We know John wrote it three times. We don’t know when or why. Wondering why might be more telling. The oldest existing commentary on the Apocalypse is by Victorinus. What can he tell us? He can’t tell us about the seven churches. Why?
A Test
A purpose for what we are experiencing. What will we do with our will? It must be free but not without consequences. Suffering is a necessary ingredient. How will you react to it? You will need help and you will get it if you ask for it. Can you believe that? You have to believe.

A Lot of Catholics
a reason for this. Why are there so many Catholics on the Supreme Court? We can only speculate. Try Catholic education. Try rigorous thinking. It is not just an attempt to get someone opposed to abortion. We know that doesn’t work. It wasn’t just diagramming sentences. It was a sense of purpose, the use of reason, and an understanding of logic. These words have meaning and the Church is preserving that meaning.
A Purpose
a reason why something is necessary. The child understands this. It is why the child asks why. Reason, meaning, and purpose can explain why we are here. You need to consider why. Don’t you wonder why? You should.
