Personal Notes:

"FATHER,... this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." - John 17:3

- This is Eternal life. I exhort you to know more about God and about Jesus. It's not enough to just worship every week or go to mass. Know more about our Faith. Know more about God. Our relationship with Him does not stop at baptism or just being a Catholic (and for some of us at our YLSS), being intimate with Him is knowing Him more. And that is eternal life.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" - Matthew 28:19

- This is our ultimate vocation. To evangelize. To spread the Good News.

"All Christ's faithful are called to hand it on from generation to generation, by professing the faith, by living it in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer." - CCC #3 /C.f. Acts 2:42

- We are ultimately called to witness His Good News with our lives. It is not enough to know and to teach it. Rather, we live it day-by-day.

Introduction to New Series: CCC Reflection Series

So any blog entry will be under this series will be titled CCC Reflection Series: [title of the topic]

Unlike the other blog entries, there is a topic outline for this series. It will be inline with the CCC Table of Contents. You can find the topic outline (and the readings also) here.
