How we are to live our faith

Our Catholic faith draws forth a vocation to life in the Spirit.  That life is grounded in the dignity of the human person, made in the image of God. It is also grounded in the communal character of the human vocation. Christ calls us to a life of ‘beatitude’ – holiness and happiness.  We are able to achieve this life with the help of God’s law (his commandments) and with his grace. Right conduct, freely chosen, fulfils the two commandments of charity – love of God and of neighbour.

Various aspects of CHRISTIAN MORALITY, as explained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) can be explored below.
