From the 8/7/24 copy of The Cavalier Chronicle, Page 7, is the weekly homily entitled, Our Lodestar. Below I write out the homily and then comment on it.
Homily: “What’s the point of our faith? The point is who, not, what. Jesus sums up the Christian faith. Jesus sums it up completely. Focus on Jesus this week in church. Looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 11:29-12:2.”
My response: As an amateur philosopher, Christian and religious moderate, I would suggest two points to our faith. One would be thinking and evolving as a religiously believing individuator so that one self-realizes, serves the Divinity, Jesus, and the divinities, as one grows, learns and experience wondrous divine presence in one’s life. One can grow in knowledge, love and understanding while enjoying divine presence. This is the what of the first point, and Jesus is still the who of the question asked.
The second point would be to accept Jesus as our primary lodestar, or one of them for sure, as a kinder, wiser, more powerful guide can hardly be imagined.
