A few years ago a group of sociologists in California set out to measure what—as they put it—“matters most in people’s lives today.” In a book entitled Habits of the Heart, they wrote that the questions people came up with were very simple. Like: “How ought we to live?”: “Who are we?”: “What shall we teach our children?” In short, said the sociologists, what people are asking for is “How can I preserve a coherent life which makes sense to me?”

There are turning points in the lives of all of us.1 At such moments we confront the deeper questions from the stillness of our hearts. We may not even have been aware that we were so questioning ourselves and we have no answers ready. Those questions at the turning points are about what the realities of our lives actively are. We discover that we have been hungering for some purpose, some aim, beyond all rationalizations behind which we so often hide ourselves from ourselves ...

“God Bless you” is how politicians these days conclude their speeches. But no one appointed them to the priestly function to bestow blessings. They want our votes. Fine! But quasi religious exclamations are meant to be manipulative. Faith, is the private business of the citizen ...
