"The religious need longs for wholeness, and therefore lays hold of the images of wholeness offered by the unconscious, which, independently of the conscious mind, rise up from the depths of our psychic nature."

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Various
|
|
| 1 |
"The dignity of man rests above all on the fact that he is called to communion with God. This invitation to converse with God is addressed to man as soon as he comes into being….God has created him through love, and through love continues to hold him in existence." Vatical Council II, 'Gaudium et spes', 19, 1
|
|
| 2 |
"Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all people have the same nature and the same origin….All are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity."
|
|
| 3 |
"By his reason, man recognizes the voice of God which urges him to do what is good and avoid what is evil. Everyone is obliged to follow this law, which makes itself heard in conscience and is fulfilled in the love of God and of neighbor. Living a moral life bears witness to the dignity of the person."
|
|
| 4 |
"If God is not one, he is not God." Tertullian, Adv. Marc., 1, 3, 5
|
|
| 5 |
"Every human person, created in the image of God, has the natural right to be recognized as a free and responsible being. All owe to each other this duty of respect."
|
|
| 6 |
"When he listens to the message of creation and to the voice of conscience, man can arrive at certainty about the existence of God, the cause and end of everything."
|
|
| 7 |
"God gave himself to us through his Spirit. By the participation of the Spirit, we become communicants in the divine nature." St. Athanasius, Ep. Serap. 1, 24
|
|
| 8 |
"At every time and in every place, God draws close to man."
|
|
| 9 |
"The Word of God and his Breath are at the origin of the being and life of every creature."
|
|
| 10 |
"Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right moment….For man has in his heart a law inscribed by God….His conscience is man's most secret core and his sanctuary. There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his depths."
|
|
| 11 |
"Every human life, from the moment of conception until death, is sacred because the human person has been willed for its own sake in the image and likeness of the living and holy God."
|
|
| 12 |
"Human freedom is a force for growth and maturity in truth and goodness."
|
|
| 13 |
"Divine providence consists of the dispositions by which God guides all his creatures with wisdom and love to their ultimate end."
|
|
| 14 |
"God wills the interdependence of creatures. The sun and the moon, the cedar and the little flower, the eagle and the sparrow: the spectacle of their countless diversities . . .tells us that no creature is self-sufficient. Creatures exist only in dependence on each other, to complete each other, in the service of each other."
|
|
| 15 |
"God calls each one by name. (cf. Isaiah 43:1)"
|
|
| 16 |
"By virtue of his soul and his spiritual powers of intellect and will, man is endowed with freedom, an outstanding manifestation of the divine image."
|
|
| 17 |
"God tirelessly calls each person to that mysterious encounter known as prayer."
|
|
| 18 |
"God's parental tenderness can be expressed by the image of motherhood, which emphasizes God's immanence, the intimacy between Creator and creature."
|
|
| 19 |
"The One is the source of every blessing."
|
|
| 20 |
"God who created everything also rules everything….God's power is loving."
|
|
| 21 |
"Man's vocation is to make God manifest by acting in conformity with His creation 'in the image and likeness of God'."
|
|
| 22 |
"The confession of God's oneness, which has its roots in the divine revelation of the Old Covenant, is inseparable from the profession of God's existence and is equally fundamental."
|
|
| 23 |
"God's very being is love."
|
|
| 24 |
"Man is by nature and vocation a religious being. Coming from God, going toward God, man lives a fully human life only if he freely lives by his bond with God."
|
|
| 25 |
"All religions bear witness to man's essential search for God."
