Assurance Quote by Ronald Rolheiser

“Faith is not a question of basking in the certainty that there is a God and that God is taking care of us. Many of us are never granted this kind of assurance. Certitude is not the real substance of faith. Faith is a way of seeing things.” quote by Ronald Rolheiser — Download Open image
