Day 5: How We Know God

What can we know about God? The Catechism tells us three important things: 1) We can know God with our human reason, but 2) that knowledge will always be limited, and 3) we rely on God to reveal himself to us. Fr. Mike warns us that learning who God is requires self-surrender and abnegation, for the human heart struggles to recognize the infinite gap between Creator and created. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 36-43.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Knowing God

I am cradle born Catholic and always pride myself in that I have Faith and know God. This is first time in my life to go through the catechism. Thank you for helping me to truly know God and His unique love for me.

Best way to start the day.

I’ve done Bible in a year for two years and was excited to start the Catechism. I purchased the book from ascension but you could use any catechism or just listen as well. Episodes are a bit shorter as well so it is easy to start the day with a little learning and prayer.
