What would you do if you were Eugenia?
If you were in this difficult situation, you would probably...
Eugenia is a very devoted(虔誠) Catholic all along... her parents are Catholics, she goes to a Catholic school, and more, she serves at her parish since young. She hopes to share her religion more and lately(最近)she initiated(發起)the topic of faith among her best friends at school. Lately Eugenia has been questioned (質問)with a lot of things that she cannot handle herself. For example, if God is so powerful, why can’t He defeat(打敗)Satan? Why are there so many injustices(不公義)in the world? Why are prayers unheard and things turn out against people’s good intentions(意向)? The question list is endless. The more Eugenia tries to defend(辯解), the more she is lost (迷失).
What would you do if you were Eugenia?
- Maybe I have been trusting in God without understanding enough, I’d stop going to church for a while so people would not comment(批評)about my faith being a blind one. In doing so, I’d have more time with friends to look at the world differently. I’d wait for God to open doors for me.
- Though I might not have the best answers for the questions asked, I’d not give up on God. I’d pray for wisdom to understand Him deeper and would also proactively(主動) talk to the parish priest to see if there’d be any books or on-line information for me. I’d have to strengthen(增強)my religious knowledge.
