Recently an atheist said to me: "But faith is the opposite of reason, you don't need faith to use reason." I believe this is a huge misunderstanding for people.

Four Steps to a Fresh Start

The first level of the Foundation of Substance is actually the same as the Foundation of Faith. Whatever you do accomplish in the world of creation, it has no value if it is not based on your good relation to God. In each situation in which you act, your actions should be based on your faith in God. A good Foundation of Faith naturally translates into a Foundation of Substance, and a good Foundation of Substance can only be made if you live in good faith in God.

This is a simple way for saying that you can only make a good Foundation of Substance if you are not having falsities in your mind, and that you should express goodness and truth in the relation to the people around you. You could also say that you should overcome all the kinds of fallen nature that might come up in relation to others. Whereas the Foundation of Faith is invisible because it is made only in relation to God and therefore you must overcome your fallen nature only in relation to God, for the Foundation of Substance your offerings are external and visible, and you therefore always have to relate to the people around you while making your Foundation of Substance.

That also means that you must have the right and not false feelings and thoughts in relation to those others. Your life should be an expression of truth, your words should be truthful only. But what is really meant for this second stage of the Foundation of Substance is that you do really overcome any kind of fallen nature that might erupt in your mind while you are making your Foundation of Substance and while you are relating to people around you.

Now you are going to express the content of your Foundation of Faith into visible and substantial creations and actions and you are making your faith visible to other people, you must make sure that your mind, your thoughts and feelings are really expressions of your faith. The third stage of the Foundation of Substance is that you make good actions with your body.

Also in making a Foundation of Faith, you were asked to do something with your body. Now you are supposed to act based on an already existing Foundation of Faith.

Your actions are actions that express your good heart of faith and your original mind of truth. You must bring into practice the faith that is in you. You also must offer to God Himself, in your prayers. The reader of this article might think what is the difference between the Foundation of Faith and the Foundation of Substance.

It is true. In which direction should we orient our free decisions for a good and successful outcome in life? What awaits us beyond the threshold of death? From these irrepressible questions it becomes clear how the world of planning, of precise calculation and of experimentation, in a word the knowledge of science, although important for human life is not enough on its own. We do not only need bread, we need love, meaning and hope, a sound foundation, a solid terrain that helps us to live with an authentic meaning even in times of crisis, in darkness, in difficulty, and with our daily problems.

Of course, this adherence to God is not without content; with it we are aware that God has shown himself to us in Christ, he has made us see his face and has made himself really close to each one of us. Indeed, God has revealed that his love for man, for each one of us, is boundless: on the Cross, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God made man, shows us in the clearest possible way how far this love reaches, even to the gift of himself, even to the supreme sacrifice.

Faith is believing in this love of God that is never lacking in the face of human wickedness, in the face of evil and death, but is capable of transforming every kind of slavery, giving us the possibility of salvation. And this possibility of salvation through faith is a gift that God offers all men and women.

I think we should meditate more often — in our daily life, marked by problems and at times by dramatic situations — on the fact that believing in a Christian manner means my trusting abandonment to the profound meaning that sustains me and the world, that meaning that we are are unable to give to each other but can only receive as a gift, and that is the foundation on which we can live without fear. And we must be able to proclaim this liberating and reassuring certainty of faith with words and show it by living our life as Christians.

However, we see around us every day that many remain indifferent or refuse to accept this proclamation. I would like to invite you to reflect on this.

Faith and Foundation [Paper Back]

Trust in the action of the Holy Spirit must always impel us to go and preach the Gospel, to the courageous witness of faith; but, in addition to the possibility of making a positive response to the gift of faith, there is also the risk of rejecting the Gospel, of not accepting the vital encounter with Christ. St Augustine was already posing this problem in one of his commentaries on the Parable of the Sower. There are those who deride us, those who reproach us, those who mock at us. If we fear them we have nothing left to sow and on the day of reaping we will be left without a harvest.

Rejection, therefore, cannot discourage us. As Christians we are evidence of this fertile ground.
