To Know and Love GOD

"GOD, infinitely perfect and blessed in Himself, in a plan of sheer goodness, freely created man to make him share in His own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek Him, to know Him, to love Him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of His family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son as Redeemer and Savior. In His Son and through Him, He invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, His adopted children and thus heirs of His blessed life." CCC 1

And thus we begin on a journey towards God via the teachings of His Church. It
seems fitting that we begin this journal with the first paragraph of the Catechism on the eve of the birth of our Lord whom God sent as His Redeemer and Savior. Let us not forget that through this miraculous event, God called together ALL men into the unity of His family. To hear His voice and respond are the only prerequisites for adoption into His family. This blog is my response to His voice. I pray I never dishonor Him in my ramblings. God bless each and every person who stumbles across this humble blog!
