Knowing about Jesus and Knowing Jesus

What is the difference between knowing about Jesus and Knowing Jesus? I think you should believe in Jesus to know him but, knowing about him is just hearing things. If you know Jesus then you know all the things that he's been through. To know him you pray to him and read the bible.

Robert F. Drinan's words


"God has created me to do him some definite service;He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. i have my mission-I may never know it in this life but i shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it if i do but keep his commandments. Therefore i will trust him. Whatever i am, i can never be thrown away. If i am in sickness, my perplexity may serve him. If i am in sorrow, my sorrow my serve him.He does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink,hide my future from me - still he knows what he is about."

Edmund Ignatius Rice


Edmund Rice was born to Robert Rice and Margaret Rice (née Tierney) on the farming property of "Westcourt", in Callan, County Kilkenny. Edmund was the fourth of seven sons, although he also had two step-sisters, Joan and Jane Murphy, the offspring of his mother's first marriage.

At this time, Irish Catholics were oppressed by anti-Catholic Penal Laws which were enacted and enforced by the Protestant-dominated Irish parliament. Rice's education, like that of every other Irish Catholic of the day, was greatly compromised by the 1709 amendment to the Popery Act, which decreed that any public or private instruction in the Catholic faith would render teachers liable to prosecution, and was not reformed until 1782. In this environment, hedge schools proliferated. The boys of the Rice family obtained an education at home through Patrick Grace, a member of the small community of Augustinian friars in Callan.[1]

That said, the Rices were quite well off by the standards of the day. As a young man, Rice spent two years at a school in Kilkenny to complete his education. His uncle Michael owned a merchant business in the nearby port town of Waterford. In 1779 Edmund was apprenticed to him, moving into a house in the market parish of Ballybricken, entering the business of trading livestock and other supplies, and the supervising of loading of victuals onto ships bound for the British colonies. Michael Rice died in 1785, and this business was passed into Edmund's ownership.[2]

In about 1787 he married a young woman (perhaps Mary Elliott, the daughter of a Waterford tanner).[3] Little is known about their married life, and Mary died in January 1789 following an accident, possibly by a fever that set in afterwards. The circumstances surrounding this accident are unclear, but she may have fallen off a horse that she was riding, or thrown out of a carriage by panicking horses. Pregnant at the time, a daughter was delivered on Mary's deathbed.
