CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

PART ONE - THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

The Profession of Faith

This first part deals with ‘a deep discovery of our faith, and wha we know?’  The first section lays the foundation of revelation: God took the first step in revealing Himself to humanity and provided us multiple ways for us to discover and enter into a relationship with Him.  In every human being, God  placed a desire to be in relationship with Him.  “This desire is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God continues to draw man to Himself” (CCC 27).

The first part of the Catechism analyzes the creed, profession of Faith. This section explains , The Holy Trinity, the Paschal Mystery,  the nature and mission of the Church, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and  death, judgment, heaven, hell.
