The “Catechism of the Catholic Church” is not a book
meant to be read from cover to cover, but rather one to be consulted or browsed
through with the help of the index in the back. It also provides a lot of
nourishment and food for meditation.
One of my favorite passages is Paragraph 27, and I’ve often
quoted it in homilies and talks.
“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.”
Each phrase of this paragraph can be a meditation onto
itself, and would like to explore its riches in the next few reflections.
For today, you might like to think it over and look for specific
instances in your life when this teaching has been proven true for you.
More tomorrow.
By the way, the COCC is available on line and I believe
it has a searchable index as well.
