Summary

God reveals himself to man and gives us the capacity to know and love him beyond our own natural abilities. From the very beginning, even after the first sin of Adam and Eve, God made himself known to human beings and gave us a promise of redemption. Fr. Mike explains how God’s covenant with Noah offers hope for salvation and unity that are only made possible in Christ. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 50-58.

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.

0:09.7	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in scripture, and passed down through the tradition of the Catholic faith.
0:16.1	The Catechism in a Year is brought to you by Ascension.
0:18.6	In 365 days, we'll read through the entire

1:12.3	right? So that's pillar one, part one, what we believe. And then we have the first section,
1:17.7	section one of part one is divine revelation. That's what we're going to be talking about today.
1:22.0	So the last couple of days we talked about how God can be known. He reveals himself through his
1:27.0	creations, right?
1:28.4	Through looking at this world and even we look at our own heart. We look at our minds.
