    Heartfelt Proofs for God’s Existence


    1. An unquenchable thirst for joy and happiness ​- God implanted a homing device that causes us to
    be restless until we find him
    2. An experience of beauty and truth - when we experience profound joy and truth, we get a taste
    of God’s beauty and truth
    3. A sense of personal conscience, moral goodness, and justice - we sense there is an absolute
    moral authority that teaches the standard of human behavior
    4. Love​ - love comes from love itself: GOd

    One, True God


    - We need never fear the journey if we realize that God is our Father, a loving Father, and that he
    is in charge, directing us to our destination
    - Belief in one true God is central to all other aspects of our Catholic faith

    Creator of Heaven and Earth: Truths about God’s creation


    - God created us male and female out of love and for love
    - God is the creator of all that is seen and unseen
    - Though essentially good because God made us, humans are tainted with sin
    - Through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, God invites us into a personal relationship
    with him

    Faith
    - Total absolute commitment (according to CCC)
    - Blessed trinity
    - Loving knowledge → we don’t stop knowing God
    - Help us grow and mature as filipinos
    - Sends us forth to spread the gospel

    Our Christian faith is at once both…


    - Certain but mystery
    - Free personal response to God, yet morally binding
    - Reasonable yet beyond natural ways of knowing → we believe even if we don’t understand
    - Individual act yet life-long process
    - A gift from God (revelation & interior inspiration) yet we do ourselves
    - Personal individual response, possible only as a member of the Christian community
