“To one who has Faith no explanation is necessary. To one without Faith no explanation is possible.”
– St. Thomas Aquinas
It bears repeating. To one with Faith no explanation is necessary. To one without Faith no explanation is possible.
To some degree, in our workaday lives, what we believe dictates what we can accomplish. In the grander scheme of life, what we Believe (upper case “B”) dictates who we are.
A friend of mine and Brother in Belief suggested the Twitter handle “#itisdone” for Easter. And, he’s right. It is.
It. Is. Done.
No greater gift could ever be given. No level of appreciation could ever be enough.
Yet we’re not called to appreciate. And we’re not called to reciprocate. We’re called to love. To follow. To Believe. To live with the knowledge that with one, incredible, heroic feat borne of love — nothing else matters.
Whether no explanation is necessary, or whether no explanation is possible, it is done.
And no greater difference will ever be made.
Editor’s Note: This is either the 17th Good Friday that this Daily Difference has posted. Some minor variations, but pretty much these words in this order every year on Good Friday. Upper-and-lower case letters matter in this post. In case any of you think the Diff has been a little Faith-heavy the last ten days — I won’t apologize. Next week the focus shifts to some straight, professional selling angles.
