Catechesis: First Commandment

To cling to Him with all our heart is nothing else than entrust ourselves to Him completely. He wishes to turn us away from everything else, and to draw us to Himself, because He is the one, eternal good.—LC I:15

Everyone made into a god that to which his heart was inclined. Even in the mind of all the heathen, therefore, to have a good means to trust and believe. The trouble is that their trust is false and wrong, for it is not founded upon the one God, part from whom there is truly no god in heaven or on earth.—LC I:18, 19
