To: small voice in the wilderness
Well, FWIW, here's my alleged thinking. One of my heroes of the Gospels is that father who said, "Lord, I believe. Help thou my unbelief."
The truth is my faith, my love, my hope, all the virtues are weak in me. The one thing I am still learning, slowly and sometimes painfully, is that when I have a momentary gift of insight and see some great lack in myself, my first response must always be to thank God for the uncomfortable but saving insight, and to ask Him to supply my lack.
So I think I must say that He will supply the deficiencies of our Love for Him and for the Truth who is His Son. It's our place to pray and to praise, to beg and to thank. And really, this Litany is all about that, about asking Him to give us what we need to do what He wants.

Because I have such respect for Mad Dawg, I will join you tomorrow. But I do so with trepidation, as I seem to have offended some of you already, without meaning to offend. I do apologize if my comments were taken not as I meant them to be. Mad Dawg knows. Maranatha!

I think I'm right up there in the 99th percentile of humility, worldwide ---
A fact I wish were more widely known.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)

It’s time for some more prayers for the Religion Forum. There seems to be a group of antagonists present. Whatever one side says — they will say the opposite.
Pray!
