Only Three More Class Days Until Thanksgiving!

It is nearing the end of the semester and finals loom upon us. There is so much to be done and so little time to do it. I have a plethora of papers to write, chapters upon chapters to read, and on top of all that the Cortina application to complete, including its three essays. For all of you that don't know, Cortina is a Sophomore living community at Creighton University. It is based on the four pillars of community, service, justice, and faith. All of these things are dear to my heart and I really, really, really want to get in.
With all that is going on, I tend to forget about my prayer life. Tonight at Student Ministry Team (an all Catholic orginization on campus) we had a reflection about living our faith. The question that was raised was what keeps you from living your faith to the fullest? My answer quite surprised me. People just don't seem to care. In such a secular world it doesn't seem to me that anyone cares about the good you do. They seem to look it over and you being to think that it doesn't matter. Then I remember that that is not the point. The point is to love unconditionally without thanks or praise. I can live my faith just by loving, and if someone happens to ask me why I do what I do, I can honestly say my faith in Jesus Christ. That is how I will live my faith radically.
