God calls humanity to seek him, to know him, and to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. (CCC, 1) The Formatio Series is a staircase that leads us to the fullness of the Christian faith. This Series deals with the fundamental formation of a Christian: from knowing oneself to understanding how to resolve conflicts the Christian way. It is sheer grace that we begin to know and understand ourselves and the world around us. When we couple it with our own determination and commitment, our knowing and understanding becomes more profound. Welcome to Formatio Series.
