This week, we will not meet together as usual, as Anna and Fr Pat are away. Please watch the following video at home and answer the questions in The Search booklet.
Watch: The Search: Why a God?
All through human history man has looked to something outside
himself for the answers to life. Why have we given up on God? Do we
think science has disproven him? Do we think society is better off
without him? We talk with astrophysicists, chemists, Harvard
professors, and more to make the case that it’s not only reasonable to
believe in God—it’s essential if you want to have a truly amazing life.
Our souls seek their creator, and we’ll never be truly happy unless we
seek him out. As St. Augustine famously said,
“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless
until they rest in you.”
After the video: Read Genesis chapter 1 and 2.
This is the biblical story of creation that was highlighted in the video.
What do you think about how this narrative unfolds?
What strikes you about the order in which things are created?
The concept of Faith was introduced to us this week. Here is a short quote about faith, (author disputed – perhaps St Augustine or St Faustina) that we can ponder on.
“Faith is to believe what you do not see. The reward of faith is to see what you believe.”
