Whether you’ve never opened the Catechism before or have read it cover to cover, we want to invite you to dive deeper with us. We want to discover (or rediscover) all that this beautiful text has to reveal to us in our life with God.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church isn’t just a reference book. It’s a sacred guide to what we believe, how we worship, how we live, and how we pray. Thoughtfully structured by the Church, it’s divided into four parts, each one building on the next:
-
The Profession of Faith (What We Believe)
-
The Celebration of the Christian Mystery (How We Worship)
-
Life in Christ (How We Live)
-
Christian Prayer (How We Pray)
Each part carries its own kind of wisdom. Today, we’re sharing a glimpse into all four—not just to help you learn, but to invite you deeper into the heart of God.
-
“...it is intrinsic to faith that a believer desires to know better the One in whom he has put his faith, and to understand better what He has revealed;” // CCC 158, from Part One
-
“...to receive in faith the gift of the Eucharist is to receive the Lord himself.” // CCC 1336, from Part Two
-
“‘To love is to will the good of another.’ All other affections have their source in this first movement of the human heart toward the good.” // CCC 1765, from Part Three
-
“The wonder of prayer is revealed beside the well where we come seeking water: there, Christ comes to meet every human being.” // CCC 2559, from Part Four
We hope these words stir your heart, spark your curiosity, and remind you that the truths of our faith are not only meant to be known—but lived, loved, and passed on.
P.S. Just a reminder—the Catechism of the Catholic Church: Every Sacred Sunday Edition is now available! Learn more about this coffee table-style, full color book here.
