What We Believe: The Beauty of the Catholic Faith

What is the Catholic Church all about? What does it mean to be Catholic? What do Catholics actually believe? The Catholic Church is extraordinary. Founded by Christ himself, the Catholic Church is where we encounter God in his Word, his sacraments, and his saints. The Church faithfully proclaims the fullness of faith, leaving no truth out. It proclaims the fullness of life, leaving no person out. It calls all to repent and to believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the source of all life and salvation.

Maybe you’ve been Catholic your entire life. Maybe you’re just beginning to explore the Catholic Faith. Wherever you are in your journey, you will be profoundly moved by the beauty and the richness of the Catholic Church.

Written by Marcellino D’Ambrosio and Andrew Swafford, What We Believe presents and explains the essential teachings of the Catholic Faith in a readable, approachable way. In it you will discover:

• What Catholics truly believe
• Who Catholics are and how we are called to live
• The blessings of Creation, redemption, and newness of life in the Holy Spirit
• The profound gift of the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of our Faith
• How to imitate Christ through prayer, through personal conversion, and through love for others.
• And more!
