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 Season
A reason to ask questions. Why can’t we all get along? How can we ignore what is going on? Can we believe what is being reported? Who can we trust? Is it time to move on? What can I do? Stop. What can you do? What you can do is ask for help.
A Catholic Convert
a reason for this. John Henry Newman and G.K. Chesterton lead the list of intellectuals who have converted to the Catholic Church. There are many more. The reason is reason. The true intellectual must have beliefs that are reasonable. Rigorous thinking along with reason and logic make the Church attractive to intellectuals. Thanks to Thomas Aquinas today’s existentialism has not completely replaced objective Truth. It is being preserved by the Church.
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.
