Catholicism or the Catholic Faith is the Christianity originally handed down directly from Jesus Christ to his Apostles that he commanded to build his Church. The Apostles, in turn, handed down that faith (called the Deposit of Faith) to their successors (the Pope and Bishops) for the last 2000 years with unbroken continuity from Jesus Christ to you and me. Our faith life is a grace or a gift that brings us into a personal, loving union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This grace enables us both to hear the Word of God and to keep it.
At the heart of Catholic faith is the living person of Jesus Christ who desires to encounter every human being personally to transform his life and bring him eternal happiness in heaven.
“If we are steadfast in our faith in Christ and in our love for him, we win the victory he has won, we receive what he has promised.” ― Pope Saint Leo the Great

Act of Faith Prayer
O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches because you have revealed them who are eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this faith I intend to live and die. Amen.
