Archbishop Lucas offers insights on the US Catholic Catechism for Adults Chapter 1:

How is our quest for God awakened?  God first pursues us; this spurs us to search for him for whom we were made.  the Catechism presents three paths through which every person can come to God; creation, the human person, and Revelation.  In the next chapter, Revelation will be presented as the greatest and most essential path to God.  He is discovered also through creation and through the mystery of our inner life.

USCCA2- Episode 2- God Comes to Meet Us

Archbishop Lucas offers insights on the US Catholic Catechism for Adults Chapter 2:

Through the use of reason, we can learn much about God from both creation and conscience, but Revelation enables us to learn about God’s inner life and his loving plan to save us from sin and share in his divine life.  No amount of unaided thinking could penetrate such a mystery.  God freely chose to share this hidden mystery with us . God’s sharing was an act of friendship  for us, revealing himself as one reveals his or her heart to a friend.  Love does such things.
