"We Sit at the Piano of Life and Insist That Every Note We Strike is Right – Because We Struck It"

“We fit a creed to the way we live, rather than the way we live to a creed; we suit religion to our actions, rather than actions to religion. We try to keep religion on a speculative basis in order to avoid moral reproaches on our conduct. We sit at the piano of life and insist that every note we strike is right – because we struck it. We justify want of faith by saying ‘I don’t go to Church, but I am better than those who do.’”

~Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Peace of Soul)

I used to justify my non-attendance by making the claim that she (the Church) was filled with hypocrites.  I really did think I was better than them.

Now I say, thank God there was room for one more.

Carry on.
