Matthew E. Bunson, editor of
The Catholic Answer magazine, writes in the March/April issue:
“The
‘door of faith’ (Acts 14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into
the life of communion with God and offering entry into his Church. It is
possible to cross that threshold when the word of God is proclaimed and
the heart allows itself to be shaped by transforming grace.”
With
those words, Pope Benedict XVI began his apostolic letter Porta Fidei
that declared a “Year of Faith,” which began Oct. 11, 2012, and will
conclude Nov. 24, 2013. In a homily delivered on the day he announced
the Year of Faith, the pontiff proclaimed his hope that the yearlong
celebration would encourage Catholics to deepen their faith and renew
their commitment to sharing that faith with others while leading “men
and women out of the desert they often are in and toward the place of
life: friendship with Christ who gives us fullness of life.”
