Faith

Quotes from Rabbi Mark Gellman's "Godsquad" column this week:

"A tragedy of humanity in our time is the certainty that what we see is what alone exists, what we create is alone worthy; that by virtue of an existence whose origins we do not understand and whose beauty we did nothing to merit, we are all that is worthwhile.  We suffer the peculiar blindness of those who see only the visible."  David Wolpe (a contemporary rabbi)

"Faith is to believe what you do not see;  the reward of this faith is to see what you believe."  St. Peter Julian Eymard
