Journey Through the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults (USCCA)

OPENING PRAYER

SEARCHING FOR GOD

O Lord my God,
teach my heart this day where and how to see you,
where and how to find you.
You have made me and remade me,
and you have bestowed on me
all the good things that I possess,
and still I do not know you.
I have not yet done that for which I was made.
Teach me to seek you,
for I cannot seek you unless you teach me,
or find you unless you show yourself to me.
Let me seek you in my desire,
Let me desire you in my seeking.
Let me find you by loving you,
Let me love you when I find you.
Saint Anselm

We begin our journey with the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults ("USCCA"). Please read this week the “"Introduction" (pages 17-26) to the USCCA, discussing the origin of the various Catechisms of the Catholic Church, and explaining the structure and various sections for each chapter of the USCCA.  We will also provide references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church ("CCC"), and the "Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church" ("Compendium)" that pertain to each Chapter of the USCCA that we will be reviewing. We further invite you to view the other resources at the links provided below.
