“O Holy Night”

~ Celine Dion

“Faith is deeper, richer, more personal. It is engendered and sustained by a religious tradition, in some cases and to some degree by its doctrines; but it is a quality of the person, not of the system. It is an orientation of the personality, to oneself, to one’s neighbor, to the universe; a total response; a way of seeing whatever one sees and of handling whatever one handles; a capacity to live at a more than mundane level; to see, to feel, to act in terms of a transcendent dimension. Belief, on the other hand, is the holding of certain ideas. Some might see it as the intellect’s translation of transcendence into ostensible terms.”
