02 Why learn about your Faith - Purpose in life

In this episode we discuss the importance of knowing your Catholic Faith, and understanding the purpose of your life.

The knowledge that St. Joseph received from the angel (Mt 1:18), about God’s plan over the Child to be born (Jesus), the virgin Mary and himself made him CHANGE THE COURSE OF HIS LIFE entirely.

There is no doubt that understanding why you were created by God, that is, the PURPOSE why you were created, will make a huge difference in your life.

During the episode I discuss a great example of the life of St. Philip Neri, called the "apostle of Rome", who lived between 1551 and 1595. The source is: Mauricio Rufino, Vademecum de ejemplos predicables, Barcelona 1962, 1870.)

Most of us, at some point our lives ask the most fundamental questions about our existence. Why are we here? What is our purpose in life?

I discuss point #1 of the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (What is the plan of God for man?), which you can find here: https://www.vatican.va/archive/compendium_ccc/documents/archive_2005_compendium-ccc_en.html
