Catholic Formation

My wife and I are conducting a RCIA class (the second one we have conducted). We really do enjoy being involved in the formation of new catholics, or at least those that are contemplating coming home to the one true church.

 "To teach is to learn twice."  ~Joseph Joubert, Pensées, 1842

The best part of leading this group is that it forces me to sit down and really think about what I beleive and why. What a great leaning experience.

Thoughts on todays readings

If Satan went to God today and said "sure it is easy for Shannon to be faithful, look at all that you have blessed him with", and God then allowed him to take away my blessings (think Job), would I be one who keeps praising God and rejecting the devil?

If God asked me to carry someone I love very much to the top of the mountain and sacrifice them, would I have the faith of Issac? 

I would like to think so. I pray that I will never be tested by God in that way. 

Thanks be to God for giving us both Job and Issac to learn and reflect upon.
