Reflection of Faith As I reflect upon my faith journey‚ I realize that like so many other “cradle Catholics‚” I had become complacent. I was raised in a predominantly Catholic nation‚ by an Anglican mother and Catholic father. After being dutifully baptized into the church‚ I was set upon my path as any ‘good Catholic” should.

A Test of Faith Job was the perfect man; a model of integrity and piety‚ ambition and honor. He probably even flossed every day. We are told in the beginning of the story that Job is flawless‚ but as time progresses I found myself second guessing this fact. Job’s friends were insistent that he had wronged‚ that he was hiding some huge sin which caused God to punish him the way He had. I found myself wondering; what’s the twist? What did Job do?
