Catechism in a Year Day 92 - Why does God want there to be a Church? Why does God want there to be a Church? God wills the Church because he wants to redeem us, not individually, but together. He wants to make all mankind his people. No one gets to heaven by the asocial route. Someone who thinks only about himself and the salvation of his own soul is living a-socially. That is impossible both in heaven and on earth. God himself is not a-social; he is not a solitary, self-sufficient being. The Triune God in himself is social, a communion, an eternal exchange of love. Patterned after God, man also is designed for relationship, exchange, sharing, and love. We are responsible for one another. (YOUCAT question 122) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dig Deeper: CCC section (758-762) flocknote/catechism
