A Search for the Whole Life What is your deepest yearning? Where have you come from? What is your destiny? Will you achieve it by just natural talent and effort and/or with God s power? Does God exist and, if so, what is your relationship with God? Who is God, and how does God interact with the world? How can you see yourself and all creation in a more positive and healthy fashion? How can you reconcile a good God with evil and innocent suffering? How can God s scripture, the Church s Tradition, and other resources help you see yourself as an extension of God s salvation (healing of the world)? In the end, how will you know that your life has been lived according to God s plan? Students will ask and ponder these questions and more in this class. Our sources will include God s Word, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and other Church approved texts, documents of other religions, and various resources from disciplines, i.e., music, art, philosophy, prayer, psychology, law, etc., in order to arrive at goal, i.e., to provide a framework for the formation of a Catholic (meaning universal) adult living in this world.
