Pope John Paul II

What is faith? To me, faith resembles those times when we are wandering about, lost and confused and searching for the right path, like Dante in the dark forest, and all we have is the hope, the trust and the belief that we will eventually find our way out, out of the darkness and into the light, despite what our present, gloomy circumstances are telling us. We trust and believe that God is ultimately guiding our steps no matter how bleak things may seem, no matter how tempted we are to despair, and remembering all the time that our final destination is not an earthly one, but a heavenly one.
