The conditions that support the growth of faith are not external. Quite the opposite: people with the greatest faith have grown up in the most difficult conditions, while where everything is made easier, one declines easily. Therefore, the crisis of faith is inseparable from its growth, however strange it may sound. It is all too easy to confuse faith with life on a pink cloud, when we deliberately try not to see what contradicts our beliefs and run away from it. But it is the collision with reality, which we experience even as a derailment, that helps us to redefine our faith, to accept reality and to see God as He really is. If this did not happen, we would be tempted to stay on the same level. The crisis of faith will mercilessly reveal where we considered faith to be rather our own naivety. It is a painful but necessary awake.
