Catechism 101: The Universal Desire for God

from Crash Course Catholicism Hosted by Dr Caitlin West

“The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for” The Catechism of the Catholic Church, p 27 In this episode of Catechism 101, we discuss the universal desire for God. This desire is written in our hearts, and is made visible through our search for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. This podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.
