Lesson 1

God Speaks to Us through Visible Creation

God communicates invisible, spiritual realities to us through visible, material signs and symbols in creation.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Creed
    :
    The profession of our Christian faith. The two most common creeds are the Nicene Creed which is said at every Sunday Mass, and the Apostles’ Creed. In the Creed, we profess belief in the Holy Trinity and in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. (870)
  • Ruah
    :
    The Hebrew word for “breath” and “spirit.” Just as God breathed His “breath of life” into Adam when He created Him to give him life, God’s Spirit is present in the Scriptures, making them the living Word of God.
  • Soul
    :
    The spiritual principle which animates or gives life to a body. In human beings, the soul is the innermost aspect of the person, that which is of greatest value in him, and by which he is most especially in God’s image. It is created by God at the moment of conception and is immortal. God intended for the human and body and the human soul to be united in one human nature. (382, 1016, 1711)
