Faith Formation

“Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
— Romans 12: 2

Can you love someone you don’t know? Is it possible to know God?

From the beginning, God knew that you will have many questions about everything, so He wrote a love letter to you, that’s the Bible. But the Word of God is not something that we can read we our 21st century lenses and understand right away. It is a daily endeavor. Faith formation is an essential part to grow in the knowledge of God, it guides us in developing a intimate relationship with God. The more we know Him, the more His Church, His Bride makes sense. By forming our minds with the Word, we come to understand the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church and to love God as He is.

The Word of God, why faith formation is important.

Benefits of Faith Formation:

  1. We gain a better understanding of our beliefs, values, and traditions, enabling us to embrace and live out our faith with purpose and conviction.

  2. It instills in us a sense of belonging and encourages active participation within our faith community.

  3. It equips us with the knowledge and tools needed to articulate and defend our beliefs in this increasingly secular world.

  4. We are empowered to view the world through our biblical lenses, which enriches our personal relationships and enhances our moral decision-making process.

  5. We are nurtured spiritually, which enable us to grow in holiness and live out our faith authentically.

Know the Word of God, like the Virgin Mary, why continue faith formation.
