How We Come to Know Others: Call to mind your best friend. How did you first meet your best friend? Were you drawn to your friend by what others told you about him or her or by what you discovered about him or her as you got to know that person?

How We Can Discover God There are several ways people come to a knowledge of God. Many of these ways involve a deep, personal experience with God. A person can come to discover God through prayer, through the Scriptures, and through various lived experiences in a community of faith. One can also discover God through the use of intellect, through daily life and observation of the natural world, and through the faith of others.

Discovering God Through the Human Intellect Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Anselm gave proofs for the existence of God that appeal to our intellect. We discover God through our human intellect when our reasoning leads us to acknowledge God as Creator and by having a sense of awe at his work in creation. The proof of God’s existence through order tells us that the human intellect can lead a person to realize that order in the universe implies a design and that a design implies a designer, thus discovering God’s presence.

Discovering God in Our Daily Lives or in the Natural World God can be discovered in the ordinary events of our daily lives. His presence is discernable in a kind word, a kind action, or a holy thought or desire. Many discover God through his creation, when they see a beautiful sunrise, gaze across the ocean, take a walk along the beach, or observe the beauty of a ladybug perched on a finger. Saint Francis of Assisi was able to see God’s beauty in all his creatures. Image in public domain

Discovering God Through the Faith of Others Some people discover God when they see others live out their faith. A quotation attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi states: “Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.” People have been moved by seeing the devotion and love with which people receive Holy Communion. People are moved by seeing the social action taken by others who are on fire for their faith. © blogs.reuters.com

Review In the next couple of slides, I will present scenarios. Each scenario will end indicating which way the person discovered God—through human intellect, through daily life or the natural world, or through the faith of others. After the scenario has been read, I will ask you to raise your hands to indicate if you think the given way to discover God is true or false.

I was thinking about God and his creation of the universe the other day, and said, “Wow!” I was discovering God through my human intellect.

I was gardening the other day and looking at how amazing the smallest flower was. I was encountering God in the faith of others.

The other day my mom gave me a huge hug when I came home from school after a bad day. I realized that my mom is the best and that I learn about God’s love for me because of her love for me. I was discovering God in my daily life.

I arrived at Mass early recently and noticed an elderly woman, who had trouble moving, clutching a rosary in her hand while mumbling the prayer. I was impressed by her faith and resolved to at least say a decade of the rosary. I was discovering God through the human intellect.
