WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE?
Father Ron Longero

In the February issue of the Magnificat Father Richard Veras describes how when he was teaching a morality class a student reacted angrily about Fr. Veras’ certainty regarding God’s existence.  Fr. Veras was to meditate upon how best to express the truth of Christianity even to those who were offended by that truth.  What he came up with was a preference test.  The only thing a person had to do was to react to one of two preferences for life based upon what their heart told them.  One such example is as follows:

Which would you prefer? Choose A or B and give a reason for your choice.

A) Your value depends on your abilities.  The greater your abilities are, the more important you are.  You are more important than people who can’t do as much or as well as you.  People who have greater abilities than you are more valuable and more important than you.  When you lose your abilities, your value will diminish.
