FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

God, infinitely perfect and blessed in Himself,

in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man

to make him share in His own blessed life.

.

For this reason, at every time and in every place,

God draws close to man.

He calls man to seek Him,

to know Him,

to love Him with all his strength.

.

He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin,

into the unity of his family, the Church.

To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come,

God sent his Son as Redeemer and Saviour.

.

In His Son and through Him,

He invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, His adopted children

and thus heirs of His blessed life.

.

[CCC 1]
