Today’s reading is a summation of what we have learned so far. Man is made for God, and we are born with a capacity for knowing God. Using our senses, listening to our consciences, and employing our gift of reason, we can know with certainty that God exists. Fr. Mike explains how we live freely only in communion with our Creator, even if we are limited in our capacity of comprehension. Knowing this compels us to share our faith in God with those who do not yet believe. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 44-49.

We are born with the capacity to speak over 7,000 languages, but as we learn one language, our ability to learn other languages becomes more difficult due to our brains and developed accents. Yet, our human language allows us to understand the perfections of reality around us and point towards the infinite perfections of God.
