Faith is not a thing of the mind; it is not an intellectual certainty or a felt conviction in the heart. It is a sustained decision to take God with utter seriousness as the God of my life…. Often it may seem as if we only act "as if," so unaffected are our hearts, perhaps even mocking us: "where is your God!" It is this acting out "as if" that is true faith.
–Sr. Ruth Burrows, O.C.D

Unfortunately I don’t have it. I had saved the quote from Magnificat magazine, and I think it was an older issue that I don’t have around anymore. Sorry.
