Faith

Faith is not darkness;
not prior to reason.
Faith is not
credulity
or superstition.

It is not
irrational
deceptive
unsophisticated
merely wishful.

Faith is response
to divine revelation.
Faith illuminates
the world
with transcendent light.

It reveals the sacredness
of life.
It is a wonder
beyond all wonders
to receive.

This postcard was made with mixed papers, textures, ink, and vintage design elements. My poem was inspired by Bishop Robert Barron’s teachings on faith.
