Session 5: God Is Our Father
We are God’s children and are made in His image and likeness.
We are God’s children and are made in His image and likeness.
Pope Saint John Paul II taught that, “The body, in fact, and only the body, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and divine. It has been created to transfer into the visible reality of the world the mystery hidden from eternity in God, and thus to be a sign of it.”
A saint is a holy person whom the Church has officially recognized as having practiced heroic virtue and lived a holy, faithful life worthy of imitation and who is in Heaven with God.
God sent the Great Flood to cleanse the earth of wickedness and sin.
To be made in God’s image and likeness means that we possess an intellect, free will, and a capacity for love.
God shows His mercy in many ways, but most powerfully in the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus shows us the greatest expression of love: giving oneself completely to another, body and soul, and He calls us to love as He loves.
If we love God, we will take care of His creation.
Every human being possesses intrinsic dignity because he or she is made in God’s image and likeness.
To love God means to love our neighbor, which is a sign of being a disciple of Christ.
The Blessed Trinity is Three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in One God.
He created the things we can see and the things we can’t see.
Adam was created in God’s image.
Friendship is necessary for us as persons.
The Persons of the Trinity are distinct from each other but are each fully God.
