Honesty is funny. To be honest is not a condition as much as a position. I honestly pray the rosary 9 days out of 10; I honestly attend weekly Mass and Holy days; I honestly pray and I honestly believe what I say I believe.
I also honestly am disgusted by pedophilia. I am also honestly dedicated to women's rights. I honestly believe that anyone who has committed a crime against anyone should be prosecuted and made to pay for their crimes.
I, for one, am honestly ashamed of what I have done in my life to hurt those I love, to hamper their happiness, even while it does not rise to a crime. While I honestly am proud of what I have done to help those I love and those I merely encounter.
I honestly dedicate myself to do better to emulate our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I honestly love the Catholic Church. I am proud to be Christian, to be a Catholic, and I will honestly strive to be a better person in line with the teachings I have received, originating with the scripture.
Yes, honesty is funny. I never quite know what will happen next, being honest. I may be granted an insight. I may feel shame. I can only be open to whatever it might be. That is the mandate of honesty. It seems to me that the bible speaks to this, in that one is compelled to worship God and to love others as oneself. And, so, one should be honest. And I cannot feel the criticism of being naive, as our Lord and Savior insists that we believe purely, innocently, as do children.
At the insights I receive, I often laugh with surprise. At my shame I think, How funny that I have not realized this before.
Maybe you have had similar experiences.
Honesty is funny. I think it always has been funny and will continue to be so. This is what I think.
