Quote of the Day

St. Andrew Kim Taegon
We have received baptism, entrance into the Church, and the honor of being called Christians.
Yet what good will this do us if we are Christians in name only and not in fact?

The Two Wings of Faith and Reason

Home: Work

Life's tapestry

Picture the human spirit rising on the two wings of faith and reason. Flight upwards towards truth cannot succeed without these wings. What an image! We have been given a mind to reason and a spirit filled with grace to believe. One cannot exist without the other.

It is no wonder, then, why a career in engineering combines so seamlessly with a love of Church and a life centered in Christ.

So, when I was free to pursue my passions, I chose to focus on both science and Church.

All the problem solvers of the world, all the risk takers, all the logical thinkers, should be called on to make this world a better place. And they must come from all walks of life. A diverse and inclusive team will always create something amazing! My STEM books speak to that message. We need to support those building the bridges of inclusion. We need to nurture in them the courage and confidence it takes to create the path for others to follow.

My passion for the Church is centered on evangelization. I am no longer nervous about the word discipleship. In fact, discipleship, in any form, is an adventure! Our faith should never stop within us. We have a responsibility – a call, actually – to go forth. Spread the good news! Formation first. Evangelize next.

I love this time in life. How easily all the threads we weave in our life’s tapestry merge together to create the most beautiful picture! It is my prayer that each of you is strengthened, guided and taught by the Holy Spirit as you weave together your life’s tapestry.
