"Our faith shines as a light on our path each day and we can offer it as a light to others, if we know what we believe and how to talk about what we believe," says the Most Reverend George J. Lucas.
To know what we believe Bishop Lucas recommends both the Compendium of the Cathechism of the Catholic Church and the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.
The question and answer format of the Compendium "will seem familiar to older Catholics." This format, says the Bishop of Springfield in Illinois, "shows that we should be asking sincere questions about what Catholics believe. These questions are indications that our faith, which is God's gift to us, is seeking understanding."
These questions we ask do have answers, he says, and these are presented in the Compendium.
Bishop Lucas expects that those "who make use of" the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults "will find it both practical and inspirational."
