Episode notes
God Draws Near Through Love
- God is fundamentally love and desires to be present and intimate with us rather than distant and terrifying.
- The history of salvation shows God drawing closer to humanity culminating in the Incarnation and Eucharist.
Freedom Enables Divine Union
- God respects human freedom and cannot force intimate union upon us, so intimacy must be chosen freely.
- The Eucharist and liturgy provide a proper, non-coercive way for God to give divine life to us.
Liturgy Makes Grace Tangible
- Liturgy enculturates the Gospel and makes divine life tangible through ordinary signs like bread and wine.
- The Church's rites connect biblical symbols and centuries of meaning so we can freely receive transformation.
