Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 26: August, 1968 Of my Faith. This day was the culmination Of eight specialized years Of study after high school. This day was to mark the beginning Of the practical application Of all I had learned and studied. This day was the true beginning of wisdom, the realization that a strong Faith requires constant study, prayer, charity, and understanding. The facts Of life were to be sometimes quite different than I had previously imagined. Basically I am a Catholic because I was born Of Catholic parents. Their Faith was transformed, nurtured, and demonstrated to me as a youngster. Like every other youth, I was filled with a great thirst for love, truth, and life. I early realized that neighbors and associates sometimes had different ideals, religious beliefs, and moral values. Doubts and questions Often came to my mind. I sought to investigate and acquire a sound rational basis for my belief and moral values. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
