God speaks to man through the visible creation. the material cosmos is so
presented to man’s intelligence that he can read there traces of its
Creator.16 Light and darkness, wind and fire, water and earth, the tree
and its fruit speak of God and symbolize both his greatness and his nearness.

It must be recalled that . . .
this reconciliation with God leads, as it were, to other reconciliations, which
repair the other breaches caused by sin. the forgiven penitent is reconciled
with himself in his inmost being, where he regains his innermost truth. He is
reconciled with his brethren whom he has in some way offended and wounded. He
is reconciled with the Church. He is reconciled with all creation.78

Belief in the resurrection of the dead has been an essential element of the
Christian faith from its beginnings. “The confidence of Christians is the
resurrection of the dead; believing this we live.”536
How can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there
is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has
not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain….
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who
have fallen asleep.537

The last part of the Catechism deals with the meaning and importance of prayer
in the life of believers (Section One). It concludes with a brief commentary on
the seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer (Section Two), for indeed we find in
these the sum of all the good things which we must hope for, and which our
heavenly Father wants to grant us.
