Combating the darkness..

I've decided that I must not dwell in this "dark night" any longer. I think I've mulled over it for way too long and there is no other way out that to physically get myself out.

I think that the only way to really get out of this is to completely embrace the faith that has brought me into it. God gave this to me for a reason, and I believe it was to fully be able to understand why and how I believe in my Catholic faith. By immersing myself in it's teachings and message, I think I am finding my way out of this dark night by finding the inspiration and love of the Lord that I felt I had been missing for the past few weeks..

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary , and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

This is what I believe.. this is what I embrace.. this is what is going to take away my dark night.. this is what I will use to combat my dark night.. this is what will save me from the darkness..
