The Catechism does not have to be approached as a dry textbook. Reading its reflections on what it means to be a follower of Christ within the fellowship of the Church, in addition to using it as a resource for studies and dealing with moral questions, can aid us in knowing what God wants for our lives. The Catechism is available at the Office of Campus Ministry and Community Service and the bookstore. If you do not have it, then I urge you to buy it. In addition to the Bible, it is one of our primary textbooks for living.
Life is short.
We need to live our lives from an eternal perspective, learning what it means to enjoy life in a godly way. The Christian life is not one of drudgery. Our lives can be driven with a sense of delight that we are children of God, destined to live in an eternal communion with Him. If we are able to articulate this belief through our attitudes and actions, then we will be ready for the final examination.
