What difference does it make if I believe in God?
Good question! Does it really matter if I believe in God or not? Would my life "look different" if I didn't believe in God? Would my life change if I did believe in God?

My heart is mixed! I know, again, our North American issues have a slight chance of being addressed...meaning women empowerment in church leadership roles, such as ordination, the ability for priest to marry, embracing fully our gay brothers and sisters, more reprimand of priests/bishops covering up priest molestation, etc.....Again, I am reminded of our global church, what are their needs? Genocide, Aids epidemic, utter poverty in Africa, oppression and deep poverty in Latin America, trafficking of women and children across the world, still 2/3rds of our world going to bed hungry every night!
I began my morning at 1:00am as I curled up on the couch with a blanket to pray with the millions around the world, thousands upon thousands in the square, and the hundreds gathered around the Vatican outside altar. All gathered, all equal, around a very holy man laid within a simple, humble, cypress coffin, that he requested to return to the arms of his dear Mother Earth, the ground from which he sprang!
