The Foundation

of the

Family Spirit

FAITH

Fr. Gregory Finn, OSJ

f everything falls within the will of God, everything can only be fully known and lived by
us through the exercise of faith.

Consider: it is God’s will which establishes all of Creation. It is His will that ordains
salvation through the Incarnation and Passion and Resurrection of His Son. It is His will
that sanctification be the work of the Spirit in His children. It is His will that we are born,
that we are welcomed into the relationship of grace at Baptism, that we journey through
an earthly life which is a gradual transformation and realization of that sanctification, and
that we arrive eventually into the heavenly life. All of this we know only by faith.
