Whose We Are

caffeineHead, Heart, Hands.  It’s what we hear every time we discuss adolescent faith formation.  And, yet, something has always seemed missing.  There is a something between the inside stuff of head and heart and how that impacts the outside stuff of the hands.

Maybe it is in the feet.  By watching the feet, you can see the internal stuff of “where we stand” while watching “we we are going.”.  But, for you purists out there who need an “H” word to go with “Head, Heart, Hands,” then let’s follow the classic 4-H model and add feethome“Home.”  This speaks to an identity piece that we are all searching for within our efforts.

A mature faith makes the iintegral connection between internal faith and external actions.  The USCCB’s Everyday Christianity reminds that “Being a believer means that one lives a certain way – Walking with the Lord, doing justice, loving kindness, and living peaceably among all people. Christian discipleship means practicing what Jesus preached.”

Faith Formation reminds us who we are and Whose we are.
